Official Selection Film Spotlight
Absent Presence
00:01:09 / Genova, Italy
A surreal journey of an incomplete body in an attempt to find itself in the spaces of an empty house.
How do you think your film relates to the NBFF 2023 Theme 'Dances of Past, Present, and Future'?
Absent Presence is my first dance short film as a director, a surreal journey of an incomplete body in an empty house. It's a no budget project shot in my house that was born from a series of self portraits that i took in lockdown. Interested in the relationship between body and camera, I wanted to investigate the movement in a new way, especially on yhe hands intention and the rhythm between body movements and the environment.
What do you hope to communicate with our audience through your work?
My aim is to convey to the viewer a new vision of movement and highlight how even a small portion of the body can express our inner states.
