the wake

A peaceful home life is suddenly interrupted by the words of a political rally. A study of the relationship between individual space and the media system which seems to have completely replaced reality in Italy today.

 

“The French actress Marie-Claude Treilhou proposed that we make a collective film composed of various shorts that all deal with rage. Even though the project hasn’t yet been completed, right from the start I felt very close to this subject. I’m not talking about the emotional aspect of rage, nor its interpretation in a revolutionary key. Instead, I’m referring to a silent and constitutive rage. Los justos by Jorge Luis Borges was a poem which guided me as I wrote the short, like a serene expression of a radical state of rebellion, composed of the renunciation of power and violence. Despite the fact that post-modernism has made official the fragmentation of our view of reality – and our identity has been put in doubt – I cannot help but re-act by keeping a vigil.”
