Frammenti e fantasmi di un film sull'Orizzonte
A chat about time between fraternal friends who time has led to have less time to share, around a film about a memory that is already a memory, facing a creative obstacle that becomes the creation of a new space; the attempt to make an impossible work visible, together with splinters of places, flashes of the universe and fragments of lives. The spectre of a colossal film reduced to a handful of confetti thrown towards your eyes with the candid spirit of two children make believing filmmaking at Christmas.
Three Floors
Follows the lives of three families who live in a three-story building in a Roman neighbourhood.
