Two stories bond together by an interruption. Golden Beach: two distant events
that juxtapose in one vision. A summer day in Florida in 1978 and a summer day
in Italy in 2004; a small witness of the past, a beautiful sunny day, in the
scenery of an off screen extreme gesture. Surface Tension: a man lying in bed.
The curve of his knees traces mountains, the limbs, deep and calm valleys. But
even among the purest mountain tops, there are hidden abysses and cliffs.
"These two short films come from the idea of telling stories without showing the
actual happenings, but only the details and the changes they induce. It is a
work on the feelings evoked by certain images, combined with a precise sound
location, giving the audience the sense of what is happening thanks to an
intuition process instead of the real formulation of facts. These films can be
seen separately inside a gallery, like paintings with moving images." (D. Pepe)
