Considered a \u201cbeverage of intellectuals\u201d, coffee makes its way in art, literature and cinema. The first edition of \u201cCaff\u00e8 Letterario Moak\u201d, a national competition with the aim to spread the culture of coffee through writing comes to live in 2000. Reaching its 11th edition, Caff\u00e8 Letterario Moak is today considered one of the most important national narrative competitions, which involves every year an average of two hundred authors of very different ages and life experiences.<\/p>\n<p>In 2011, a new section dedicated to short stories arises; \u201cIl tempo di un caff\u00e8\u201d (Time for a coffee) &#8211; a narrative competition, which sole restriction is the length of the piece of writing: not more than six hundred characters. All chosen stories of the different Caff\u00e8 Letterario Moak and Il tempo di un caff\u00e8 editions will then be published in the anthologies \u201cI racconti del caff\u00e8\u201d (Stories about coffee). The eleventh muse is not the only one approaching to the Moak universe. Coffee also becomes multifaceted protagonist of a film competition. In 2006, the first \u201cclapperboard\u201d of \u201cCorto Moak\u201d, the international competition specifically dedicated to short films, gains the attention of many young artists and is numbered among the most interesting one in the Italian panorama.<\/p>\n<p>In 2012, coffee also meets the art of photography with the photo competition \u201cThe Sign Moak\u201d. Even in this case, topic is coffee. The winning works will be used to create the covers of the different The Sign Moak issues. However, Moak Culture\u2019s aim is not only to spread coffee of culture through the different art forms. The project becomes holder of cultural initiatives that offered visibility to several budding artists over the years. For many an opportunity to show their talent and to see their own works being enhanced and appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, coffee is not only told, but also seen and experienced or immortalized in a snap. The ever fascinating result is the diversity and uniqueness each artist deals with the topic of coffee in its works, no matter if it\u2019s a story, a film or a picture.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10004524 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/09.jpg 384w, https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/09-204x300.jpg 204w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>More information can be found on <a class=\"a\" href=\"http:\/\/www.caffe-letterario.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.caffe-letterario.it ,\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.caffe-corto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.caffe-corto.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we talk about Caff\u00e8 Moak, we also have to think about its almost visceral connection with the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10004523,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[252],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10004619"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10004619"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10004619\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10004620,"href":"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10004619\/revisions\/10004620"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10004523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10004619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10004619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10004619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
