24° TORINO FILM FESTIVAL

Fotofinish 2

Fotofinish 2

Country: Italy
Year: 2006
Duration: 74'


Filmed during 2003, Odissea nello Spazio Zero inside the Teatro Spazio Zero in Rome, the film shows the theatrical play Fotofinish (2003), not as a single, continuative work, but as the actors’ evolution in time as, rehearsal after rehearsal, they mature their consciousness of space and experience the joys of the mis en scene. The narrator’s voice, which was recorded during one of the last rehearsals, is the perceptive illusion that leads the work toward a unitary state made of out-of-synch sounds and jumps in the perspective. The performer’s body changes and is shown in the early days, when it was round and sinuous, and in the end, when it is stripped of meat and flayed. It is the one constant element, indelible, that becomes once again the strident voice that doesn’t suffer the shame of time and fatigue.
