The night is when we spend time with ourselves. The needs of the day are no longer pressing, the pace slows down and confusion lessens. Some people see the night as a time for dreaming; for others it’s the ideal time for thinking. Rai Notte cultivates both of these souls: imagination and reflection. |
Rai Notte
Night creates a different sort of focus, a
different way of watching and listening.
This is why designing nighttime
programming means focusing as much
as possible on that which, inevitably, is
missing from or marginalized in daytime
television.
We begin with the imaginary, with fiction
and films (primarily concentrated on
RaiUno). With regard to film, the
programming choices are always
centred around high-quality films, but
without being excessively elitist.
For Rai Notte, the focus is always on the
preferences and differences of this
particular viewing audience, which
means, for example, Italian and
American cinema, re-proposing the
great westerns, noir films and thrillers,
artistic and otherwise, science-fiction
and horror. All this while leaving room
for art films.
With regard to fiction series, 2009
continued Rai Notte's tradition of
recalling the past. Nothing has
impacted upon the imaginations of
Italians more deeply than dramas from
the past, so providing viewers with an
opportunity to take another look is not
just a pleasure, it's a cultural obligation.
Some of the most appreciated
broadcasts that made another
appearance through Rai Notte included
La Piovra, Don Matteo, Linda e il
brigadiere, Provaci ancora prof.
Rai Notte's other focus is reflection. This
theme is concentrated on production
(particularly on RaiDue), with a series of
programmes, broadcast within the
"containers" Attualità Magazine and
Anima Magazine, which typically deal
with important social and political issues,
as well as culture and the environment,
using language that is as simple and
direct as possible. After all, at night, we
don't need complicated turns of phrase.
Rai Notte's programmes also discuss
philosophy and psychology for example.
Soul, Jung, Hermetic tradition and
iconology. But with an attempt at
keeping these words accessible to
everyone, capable of bringing viewers
loser to even the most complex
concepts. All without sacrificing the
depth of the ideas.
In 2009 this occurred in programmes
such as Inconscio e magia, Medicina
per voi, Il mare di notte, Gli occhi
dell'anima and Anima Good News.
The programmes of Rai Notte also talk
about justice � the justice of daily life,
real justice, which tangibly affects
people's lives � in Avvocato per voi, a
programme that responds in detail to
viewers' questions. It also talks about
politics and information in agile
programmes such as Quarto Potere and
Focus, or in Parola di�, a programme
in which the editors of leading Italian
newspapers lead the audience through
the lines and folds of their newspapers.
And about current affairs in
appointments such as La voce dei
cittadini and I nostri problemi
