Cecilia Mangini, Paolo Pisanelli
Italy, 2021, 89'
Synopsis
“Il mondo a scatti” is a film that intertwines images of today and yesterday, still images and moving images through a dialogue between two people who reflect on the visible and invisible things of the world: Cecilia, an unstoppable ninety-year-old photographer, documentary maker, screenwriter is filmed by Paolo, photographer, director, curator of cultural events. Cecilia Mangini – tied to the analog of the film to be developed and printed – decides to venture into the digital from which she feels excluded. From cave drawings onwards, the image has always had a power that has to do with magic. Magic is also photography… cinema sometimes borders on witchcraft, it enchants the eyes.
