Working with Antonio Rezza and Flavia Mastrella and all the guys of the crew spontaneously formed as a GROUP QUARANTINE has been a deadly, exhausting, frenetic, devastating. Ultimately wonderful.
All the labor and the satisfaction I have accumulated on the sacrum and the day following the end of Human Landscapes 09 the our (can I say?) abnormal festival, I could not ambulate as a person in full possession of his faculties motor. Bent double like an old reed vague in an attempt to casadimattoni (physical) to bring order (mental / emotional) to the memory of three days hyperdense laboratory, also called common syndromes.
As a kind of miracle in the whole collective group of 35 people managed under the care and massacred deadly teachings of Antonio and Flavia, to transform what we had last year called an experiment in collective videocracy, or the work of filming and interviews on the territory of the last edition of Landscapes, in a real film production, with all the trappings that a good production requires assembly by the superlative, the original music, the discrete audio, up to an eloquent backstage. To the point that even the Rezza and Mastrella well aware of the quality and form of their work, they could avoid affix their signature on the finished work.
QUARANTINE Last year the group had in fact moved in unison for three days under the direction of the two performers, moving as abnormal television crew and causing panic among the residents of Monteleone di Fermo and Servigliano, tiny towns in the province of Ascoli, alternating phases of preparation for theoretical-reflexive actions of a video-documentary, in search of faces, gestures and of voices in their urban and natural environment everyday, the collective wanted to tell the "human landscapes" of those places, to be captured with the help of technology and reinterpret. The encounter with the human elements of the landscape, their reactions and their stories turned out to be more dynamic and dialectical previsto.Ognuno of participants, equipped according to the role chosen (manufacturers, production secretaries, interviewers, audio-video recording technique, photographers, actors backstage, editors) did his part in numerous team that, by and by, near, involving, and resumed interviewing local people, educated (even "surprise", especially for a crew of so many) in their environments and in their daily occupations, with a focus in letting emerge, beyond the conventions of the medium and cooling technology, the most authentic and meaningful emotions of people. The whole group had thus contributed to the creation of an archive of about 14/15 hours of footage (interviews or interviews mute, sitting backstage and theoretical) and thousands of photos, which formed the basis for the work of post-production Agreement between the 1 and 3 May this year.
This time quarantined, segregated by Antonio and Flavia in the dark under a cantinone brick house, the community of Monteleone, have worked tirelessly without rest and sleep without the selection of images , editor, audio, all'extrage and the music, just to get to the closing party with their common syndromes ready for the premiere.
So Syndrome City became a movie.
soon, hopefully very soon, we will present to the public and we will try every means to spread. Why is a work that speaks to individuals, sometimes of solitude, from the point of view of a community, in the tension spasmodic change. In the will of an "instant restore" of the meeting, sharing, community. That the City Syndrome a spill early in the epidemic.
Complete the short film was a great happiness. A great effort. I know my back.
