Declaration

film director

“Where do I come from? I always try to ask myself this question as I approach a new project. In recalling my childhood memory, I wanted to represent the feeling of instability that defines certain districts of my hometown, and to recognize the complexity of a specific context that I’ve been able to see closely through the years. In collaboration with Chiara Marotta, I’ve collected the “voices” of this grassroots district in order to assemble a sound archive that could deliver moods and wishes of part of the city. These documentary elements are elaborated through a fictional pattern, at a time taking the shape of a fable, deeply subjective and blended with memory.”
