24° TORINO FILM FESTIVAL

Ritratto di famiglia

Family Portrait

Country: Italy
Year: 2006
Duration: 5'


A man goes out of his house and begins to run. A woman walks along a market. Two children doze on the carpet.

"I usually shoot and almost always intentionless, without any purpose of using the shootings in any way, likewise I begin some works but I leave them unfinished because I don't think that it's useful to go on. That's the reason why my personal deposit of disjointed, casual and useless images seems to be growing from day to day. Then, for unknown reasons, it happens that some frames and fragments of unfinished stories push to draw closer, to stay togheter. I second their movements, I work them with great patience, I multiply, mix and distort them; I provide the music that accompany them. I work in order to let these material coexist without problems. When I think it's the right moment to close the business, I back off and look at what has come out, almost always I think: 'Ah, here you are!'" (C.Cagnasso)
