Les Années Super 8
–
Annie Ernaux, David Ernaux-Briot / France / 2022 / 61′ / French | Italian subtitles
Super 8 shooting is silent: it passes on the wall, or on a white sheet, and to comment on them there is only the crackling of the projector. Annie Ernaux, Nobel Prize for Literature 2022, gives voice to those silences by superimposing her own words on a collection of family home movies shot by her and her husband between 1972 and 1981. In front of and behind the camera, the writer tells an intimate story which, as in the books, is twisted with collective history. Travels around the world (from Allende’s Chile to exotic Morocco, from the Soviet Union to mysterious Albania), everyday life at home, escapes to the countryside and the crises of the Ernaux family reflect the emotions and insecurities of an entire social class in the decades following 1968. And they offer a unique and irreplaceable witness and point of view on a historical moment in which our present is firmly rooted.

Gli Anni
Sara Fgaier / Italy, France / 2018 / 20’ / Italian
A woman gives voice to the text Les années by Annie Ernaux, a few fragments collected on the shores of a timeless Sardinia. Neither the word nor the images pretend to turn out its story: the places of the past emerge as reverberations of a fragmentary and changing memory, illuminated by a new light. Gestures, faces, slice of life lived in the family, reassembled and disengaged from their context of origin, become expressive elements of a confession that is at the same time self-discovery and collective narrative. A promise to be renewed, inscribed in the exchange between the archive and the word.
