In the summer of 2024, I shot two Super 8 cartridges. They are filmdiaries suspended between memory and portraiture, dedicated to two people that are very dear to me. "Meno di metà" consists of the total removal, through editing, of their every trace from the images, thus excluding all the scenes animated by their figures. Only the uninhabited sequences—or those inhabited by their disappearance—now belong to the film.
Meno di metà

“Earthquake” is a child who struggles more than others to channel his exuberance and for this very reason he got this nickname. It was given to him by his teacher because, like an earthquake, sometimes his anger explodes uncontrolled and irrational, leaving obvious marks as it passes.

Moving Mountains
I found this reel at a flea market. I needed some disposable footage to run a couple of tests. A family sits at the table, then a trip to the mountains, the anonymous faces of these people are erased and eroded, leaving behind dense clumps of color that reanimate scenes more than half a century old. As if they were thawing and then exploding into clusters, stratifications, and mixtures of pigment/material, similar to what happened at Outpost #31 in Antarctica.
MEDULLACHROME TEST
A oneiric and unsettling journey comes to life in Mk 1, the ideal follow-up to the short film Sfondo Giallo (2024). Born from the collaboration with Stefano Tiranti, composer and producer, the video weaves animation and music into a sensory experience suspended between reality and nightmare, where the protagonist faces a mysterious shadow that fractures his everyday life. In a crescendo of tension, driven by pulsing basslines, dramatic violins, and distorted guitar, Mk 1 drags the audience into a voyage toward the unknown, leaving open questions that await answers in the next short film.
Mk1
In a city shrouded in fog and flickering neon lights, an indie singer with a rough voice and a disillusioned look accepts a date with a girl he meets by chance, among the smoky tables of a nightclub. Their meeting unfolds amidst sharp silences, ill-timed jokes, and gazes that never meet. He seems distant, she skeptical. But something changes. A gesture, an off-script phrase, a song he absentmindedly plays while they wait for the bill. She turns. Then listens. Then stays. In black and white reflections of the streetlights, the indifference cracks. A romantic noir, just the right amount off-key.
Nothing particular

A videocall. Three men struggling to understand each other. A glance from above or maybe from somewhere else; a computer turning into the Tower of Babel. A journey into the rotten flesh of images, looking for their creator. Straining to discover something intimate about themselves in a place where bodies appear for what they are. Then, suddenly — him.

AMORE GIOVANE
A man, trapped in a white sheet, struggles on a bed as if drowning in a nightmare. In front of a similar sheet, in an empty movie theater, a mother breastfeeds her baby, immersed in deep silence. A silent film tells the story of a cow, marked with the number “432,” who wanders on a beach desperately searching for her missing calf. When the cow finds the dead calf, marked by the number “433,” the film dies with it: the sheet on which the film is projected falls onto the stage, enveloping the entire room in an even deeper silence. The number “433” evokes John Cage's famous silence, but here silence takes on a tragic meaning, representing the stillness of death. The same fate befalls the man on the bed, the embodiment of life within the film, whose movements cease simultaneously at the end of the film.
Come to Light
Reconstructing matter as having dynamic agency between a structuralist loop and a quote, this analogue short is a tribute to Donna Haraway and her seminal "Staying with the trouble", evoking women labour in the knitted content of the textual image: the frame depicts women hands knitting and is manipulated and scratched with knitting needles by my own hands. The nature of matter itself is a problem for women (for feminist theory). Thus this is a non-camera film, realized with anonymous found footage, which I hope suggests that knowledge is indeed an embroidered fragmented dynamic multi layered and embedded quilt, as much as matter.
