International Competition
Gli ultimi giorni dell’umanità
enrico ghezzi, alessandro gagliardo / Italy / 2022 / 196’ / Italian | Italian Subtitles
SPECIAL MENTION ASSIGNED BY INTERNATIONAL JURY
The panorama of human events meets the man with the camera. His champs has no borders, his curiosity has no mesure. Characters, situations and places camp in the experience of humanity that is both the one who sees and the thing seen. But what are the last days of this humanity? has it been already? are they now or then? While waiting, the astronauts of the Atalante meet their image in a bubble of water. The pilot pushes his fireball between fear and desire. beyond the road of the steamers in the open seas, a caress, an affection. In the mirror, one’s own capture occurs inside a short, too short, unit of time. But what we have learned is that there is no duration. Everything they touch becomes time, action, expectation and hope., remember Demetra at the human doing. Fragment of fragments. To run away from the melancholy and play with them in an impossible movement. Il teatro di Marte di Kraus non ha ancora aperto, eravamo occupati ad anarchiviare. The Mars of Kraus theater isn’t open yea, we were busy to unarchive. And this drama can have no other spectator than humanity.
