Experiencing Interruptions?

FERRO

FERRO, in the cinema as in chemistry, is an exposed element, showy and incapable of hiding. A musical journey of documentary matrix that takes, or perhaps is lost, all the time necessary for the disorientation and to find oneself: youth, freedom, provincialism, the mountain, identity, ritual, tradition. Here the matter becomes the key to understanding reality, "as old as the Whole and portentously rich in deception [...]". With a contradictory and uncertain attitude, FERRO focuses on a generation grappling with the rite of passage to adulthood: an imperfect, ephemeral and deceptive, poetic and political rite together with initiation into life. And here, today, in front of the Whole, the intimate and surreal portrait of a new class, a class of iron in fact, of young men and young women of the new millennium, Europeans and mountaineers.

Director Statement

"In life men make programs because they know that once the author has disappeared, they can be continued by others. In poetry it is impossible, there are no heirs. [...] Poetry comes and goes, lives and dies when it wants her, not when we want us and has no descendants. I'm sorry but that's it. A little like life, especially like love. "
