Cartapesta: Carnival of Fano – The Movie

Italy’s oldest Carnival, memories, footages, a very powerful imagery rooted over the centuries in one city: Fano. A tradition, that of papier-mâché, and its float masters who, generation after generation, have been able to blend creativity, engineering and manual skills to build those traveling stages called floats. A character, named Vulón, encountering a child. He doesn’t know anything about the Carnival of Fano. No one better than a Carnival mask to walk him around through parades, costumes and sweets and to tell him that after all, Carnival is more than a simple celebration: it’s a feeling, a state of mind that warms the heart of a city and of the territory around.

One Hundred Four

The deadliest refugee route in the world claims thousands of lives every year. In the first half of 2023 alone, almost 2,000 people died in the Mediterranean because the European Union’s border policy systematically violates existing laws. Instead of helping shipwrecked persons, Frontex practices illegal pushbacks, finances the violent operations of the Libyan coast guard and takes massive action against private sea rescue missions that act where the EU fails. All this has been documented in the media and yet remains incomprehensible to all who were never forced to live through this situation themselves: How can one deny assistance to hundreds of people in peril of life, even threaten and criminalise the civilian helpers?

The film results from the need to document states of altered perception of reality, reflecting its purely constructed quality. It translates junctures of personal experiences into sequences of images, presenting a vision of the real as a pure fabrication of the mind; a succession of visions and sound suggestions that cyclically intersect to then crumble and dissolve. The choice of super 8 introduces us to the dimension of the everyday life, where observations of reality and reinterpretations of it are intertwined with stop motion animations. The resulting images seem enveloped in an aura of timelessness, in continuous oscillation between the suspension and dilation of space.
