Non creare un altro Fiume

Sacred is what exists in silence and solitude. A very intimate and personal experimental short film about the suffering felt after years of loving another without being reciprocated. Nothing seems more real, one is led to live a life in solitude, from which however it is possible to purify oneself precisely through solitude.

« La stanza si irradia di luce, è troppo luminosa per me.
Mi acceca e si espande nella mia testa, al punto che questa sembra star per scoppiare. Sono schiavo di questa luce eterna. Il sole nuota sopra di te. Senti, ascolta... che fine hai fatto? Ho sognato che mi parlavi. Forse perché nella realtà non hai mai ascoltato neppure una parola di ciò che ho detto. Non ho mai conosciuto mio nonno, che suono ha la voce delle persone che non ho mai conosciuto? È d'ombra che tu ti nutri, con quelle piccole mani. Mentre cerchi di lavarti il viso, per fare ammenda dei peccati. Non piangere, non creare un altro fiume. L'altro ha esondato e ha divorato tutto. »

Director Biography - Eleonora Cutini

Eleonora Cutini was born in Amandola (FM), Italy, on 23 October 1997.

- 2020: Bachelor's degree in Graphic and Printmaking at the Academy of Fine Arts in Urbino (Italy)
- 2022: Master's degree in Contemporary Painting and Visual Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Urbino

She grew up in the Marche hills of Fermo (Italy), not far from the Apennine chain of the Sibillini Mountains, inherithing through family memory the love for folk tales and customs of their land of origin.
Guided by dreamlike visions, her artistic research is characterized by the construction of imaginary landscapes inhabited by familiar elements, but at the same time perturbing and steeped in historical and personal memory. The repetition of branches, poles, ropes, clouds, compose a nostalgic universe, a metaphor more or less of unpleasant memories.

Director Statement

A very intimate and personal experimental short film about the pain you feel the moment someone enters your life and start loving you, but you have suffered and been ignored for so long that nothing feels real to you. You are led to live a life in solitude, from which however you are able to purify yourself.
Simone Weil argues that in every man there is something sacred, and this is being a person themselves. Weil also argues that far from being "the person", what is sacred about the human being is impersonal. Truth and beauty are a deposit for impersonal things (truth> science / beauty> art), what allows you to pass from the personal to the impersonal is solitude, both moral and factual. Sacred is what exists in and in silence and solitude.
