Splinters of Utopia S01 E09 Portrait of Gianfranco Baruchello

"The Italian underground cinema (this stranger)"

For Gianfranco Baruchello, as for his master Duchamp, the poetic is found first and foremost in subconscious processes, in a liberating and, once said, anti-bourgeois function. Paolo Brunatto and Valentino Zeichen unveil the playful vein and irony that bring to light the biting ideas, latent in the artistic gesture, of Baruchello, co-author with Grifi of “La verifica incerta” and maker of a series of experimental shorts, epochal performances and indelible signs of time.
