NEIGHBORHOOD
by Fiorella Pierini, Cristian Guerreschi
Country: Italy
Year: 2009
Duration: 5'


NEIGHBORHOOD
Two solitary creatures wander through a forest in search of
someone they can make friends with. But communication is difficult.
Even though everyone expresses themselves by emitting large floating
letters instead of sounds, no one seems to pay any attention to them.
As they roam through the forest, the two find letters that have fallen to
the ground and they pick them up as though they were small treasures
to be inserted in the albums they carrying with them. As they follow
these unusual tracks, they unexpectedly end up running into each other.

Neighborhood was born as the celebration of an encounter; two
existences cross paths and generate something that is simply beautiful
and pure. It is an invitation to explore – above and beyond the
conventional meaning of the words and the labels that are artificially
attached to things – what really exists only between the lines.”
