Despite everything (Malgrado tutto)

Italy / 2021 / Colour / 4K / Stereo / 6'

Synopsis
We are in the first lockdown of 2020; the video camera represents a lifeline against the uncertainty and fear of the moment. Filming is a way to reconstruct another world, an alternative observation to the dominant vision. The camera becomes a device with a thousand resources. That is how the digital focus of a video camera becomes an opportunity to reflect on the power of this instrument, the produced images and its ability to reveal unexpected situations. The images that emerge give an account of a world made of folds and cracks, behind which hides a reality capable of surprising the contemporary viewer, distracted from observation and reflection.
