Mr. Fabio Quodlibet wants to shoot a film. Day by day he thinks about how, why and with whom it should be made. “Aldo Maria Pennacchini made many films in the past, he was generic, antagonistic and had other human experiences at the limits of his problems that took him out of that world. Each time I meet him he asks me if I’ll let him make a film, says that he would like to make one and get back to what he considers grand cinema, and each time he asks me I am deeply touched. [...] For a while I had been thinking about making a film in total poverty, intimate, austere, with a camera and a microphone, a sort of amateur manifesto, but without the reinforced structure of film manifestos, that are sometimes necessary in order to support the clash that they are meant to spark. I wanted to attempt an impossible challenge: a film in III variations that hints at the structure of a Quodlibet. An audiovisual Quodlibet following Bach. Alternations, codas, counterpoints, two thematic leaps, sacred and profane themes.” (F. Ferraro)
