thoughtful butterfly Life has a different tempo in Rennes, like any city which is dominated by traffic by day and by the inert effigies of consumerist society by night. The shop windows of the closed stores lose their very essence but at the same time they gain form, while, outside, the illuminated advertisements form a backdrop for the people waiting at the bus stop. A woman slowly walks through the doorway into her home, making her customary gestures and movements which become part of the dance that animates the streets, doors, windows and sidewalks of the entire city. “Fragments of stories, part reality and part fable, real places and places of the spirit, sensations which become matter, unique bodies in search of themselves and of others, observation that is ceaseless, meticulous, able to distinguish, capture, interrogate the signs of life which the city of Rennes offers us every day.”
Biography
film director
Gabriele di Munzio
Gabriele di Munzio (Naples, Italy, 1972) studied photography and film editing in London from 1993 to 1995, and developed an interest in theater thanks to a number of seminars held at the Peter Brook and Eugenio Barba research centers and at Teatro Valdoca. In 2001, he started making several documentaries in the Poitou-Charentes region, and he moved on to video-theater shorts in 2005. He created the association Cantine1901 in 2007, which produced his short Riviera 91, winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2009 Torino Film Festival. Two years later, he received the same award for Occhio di vetro cuore non dorme (2011). He then returned to the Torino Film Festival with Corpo familiare in 2014, and with TanjaTales in 2016.
