Anna Marziano / France, Italy / 2022 / International Premiere / 12 min.

synopsis

Charles Darwin dedicated his last essay to the life of worms. His text inspired Anna Marziano to make a wordless collage of sixteen-millimeter shots highlighting the similarity between artistic creation and the relentless activity of these creatures that fertilize the soil and decompose organic waste. Just like the film itself decomposes before springing back to life.

“I feel very close to the open form of collage. When I think about the film during its preparation [...] I think of the film as a dynamic collage, faithful to the movements of thought in its encounter-collision with the real.” (Anna Marziano)
