Experiencing Interruptions?

Eva, Small women grow up…in Milan

Eva is a small 11-year-old woman, who came from Kenya 6 years ago, with her dreams and aspirations that she tries to put into practice with an all-Milan rhythm.
In fact she is always very linked to her origin and not only retains the memory but, , thanks to the context in which she lives, a family group with which she makes shows of dances and traditional songs, is very much alive in her! She shows it to us and tells it to us.
A tender portrait, where emerges a determined character and a strong and open personality, ready to make dialogue in its being the richness of different cultures.

Director Statement

L’attenzione per la ‘condizione umana’ (nel senso di evoluzione storica, sociale e politica)
vuole essere la chiave di narrazione del mio lavoro, partendo sempre da avvenimenti o situazioni specifiche e memorie personali per indagare il senso della realtà odierna.
attualmente narro della trasformazione della nostra societa, attraverso video ritratti di gente comune ma diversa ... ognuno con la sua storia . Ho appena finito di montare un film girato in uno SPRAR dove 5 ragazzi somali si raccontano nelle loro immense difficolta e nelle loro speranze altrettanto immense.
Perche amo molto questo genere di narrazione.
Il ritratto è in generale la rappresentazione di una persona nel suo istante che rivela tutta una storia di vita vissuta
E’una porzione di vita incorniciate da un'inquadratura
