Italian Competition 1994 - Non Fiction
TESTIMONE DI UN GIOCO DI SGUARDI
by Mauro Calvone
Country: Italy
Year: 1994
Duration: 10'
This is a reflection on a place - its image, its sounds, the thoughts that it gives rise to. It is a game. The same space can suggest contrasting images when seen by different eyes. For some, it is a search for inspiration. For others, it is a search for symbols. For others still, it is a search for a hidden life - that secret soul that we seek desperately behind everything. Therefore space becomes a reflex of its observer's image, a witness to a play of looks.
