Lose Voice Toolkit

Adele Dipasquale / Italy, Netherlands / 2024 / Czech Premiere / 18 min.


synopsis

In an undefinable place and time we see a group of children who don’t use words anymore. They might have lost them due to powerful voice-stealing magnets, or dissolved by lose-voice candies. The words seem to be lost, forgotten somewhere. So, they start to transform and develop a new system of communicating made of aerial forms, sharp gazes or shared thoughts. Looking at them, one would think that they would speak with their noses, their elbows, their pupils.

The film is part of DELTA | Emerging Italian Filmmakers Across Europe: A Project by Bellaria Film Festival.
