The Fall

Jake, a professional athlete (at county level) runs in a school race with some “awesome running”. In a scene deemed too emotional for the wider public, Jake falls over dramatically and breaks his ank. It is unclear what happened when filming this scene, just that something strange and paranormal occurred, thus the film was cut. In another mysterious scene, in the medical room, Jake tells his PE teacher that he's really upset because he lost the race to be told in a sadistic manner that he can't run for another 6 months and he'll just have to suck it up. Some claim that the shot of Jake’s feet are to pay homage to Quentin Tarantino and others claim something more serious happened, either way early viewers claimed to feel nauseous. Then, 6 months later Jake runs again and in a Christopher Nolan-Inception way, it ends with us never knowing if he won the race, however this is unconfirmed and rumors suggests the results of the race are so shocking, it was cut to protect audiences.

il carbonasso

Halfway between a video installation, a performance and an in situ work, Il carbonasso was created starting from the discovery and intense exploration of a hidden and isolated place near the Piave river. The video consists of a series of long and fixed shots in which it is possible to perceive a mysterious and elusive creature. Observation soon becomes contemplation and meditation in which the gaze is lost in the image in search of the enigmatic presence. The title of the work and the name of the (non) protagonist derive from the dialectal name of the rat snake, a very common non-poisonous snake near water courses.

Despite The Facts

Through the narrative of a fictional political crime during the Years of Lead, Despite the Facts investigates the interplay between fiction and documentary. Structured around a fictionalized interview with a real former member of the Italian extra-parliamentary radical left, the work highlights the subtle boundary between fiction, reality, and a constructivist approach to history. The piece employs both the language of documentary as well as cinematic language, probing how narratives are constructed and showing that the “fact” itself is ultimately inaccessible, existing only as a construction. The project was conceived for both single- and two-channel formats, comprising a single-channel screening version and a two-channel installation version. The project was realised with the support of Injuve (Spanish Government), Community of Madrid, Cripta747 (Turin), and Torino Film Commission.
