Experiencing Interruptions?

Feather

The protagonists’ thoughts and words pass through the spaces created at the end of a relationship. What remains of memories? Where can memories be found?
A pathway traced by waits and silences, where everything has its weight, even the lightest of feathers.

Director Biography - Amedeo Sartori

Amedeo “Zac” Sartori (1990) is an unconventional and tenacious self-taught filmmaker, in love with cinema since he was a kid. Indeed, he worked on his first short films as he was sixteen and has fuelled his passion for the seventh art in all its forms ever since.
Putting his school and work life aside, as they have almost nothing to do with cinema, he has continuously been feeding his artistic sensibility, and particularly his interest in the concepts of time, memory, and movement. With these prerogatives, he has been investigating the relationship between perception and image.

Director Statement

With "Feather" I wanted to address the Japanese "Mono No Aware" aesthetic concept, which suggests emotional participation in the fragility of things. It is a sort of empathic feeling towards changing nature, in which everything is bound to change and finally fade away. As for the dramaturgy, I drew on the works of the Chinese painter Gao Xingjian, who holds the same principle at heart. I was looking for a delicate gaze, capable of respecting the intimacy of the characters, but also of making it the subject of the film.
The poetic-narrative rhythm and the plot have the fluidness owned by thoughts and memories, which only tell the essential: the awareness of an inevitable farewell.
