FILM

Monelle
Diego Marcon, 2017, IT, digital, 16'

In staccato flashes, Marcon illuminates eerie figures in the dark rooms of Giuseppe Terragni’s Casa del Fascio in Como — images that resonate with its burdened political history. He uses contrasting technologies — 35mm and CGI animation — and represents two opposing attitudes in film: structural cinema and horror. The rigid formal structure of the film is undercut by the disquieting actions of the protagonists: a man jumping off a balcony, the fearful glance of a child looking into the lens.
