Statici
Jacopo Quadri / Italy / 1997 / 9’ / Italian, English, Bulgarian
The statico is shot film conserved in a dry and secure place, away from rats and laboratory parasites. It ceases to be static when it is withdrawn and made to become a story, a situation, a post-applicated sensation.

Marisa
Jacopo Quadri / Italy / 2000 / 9’ / Italian
Marisa is a film for Marisa, my mother, Marisa Rusconi who has been gone for a year. I wanted to tell this personal story, with vaguely biographical elements of Marisa and of my own feelings about detachment and life, using footage from the RAI archives on the subject of migration. In this material, which is broad and open to the world, I found the elements with which I built the framework of the film. Then I inserted images and sounds recorded by me in the last months and fragments of Super 8 filmed by my father, Franco, in the 1960s.
