Private Project

Millimeters

An elderly man reflects on the world he once knew and the differences with
the world he knows now. Much has changed in recent times, a world in decline
and a society in disarray. Until the arrival of the "mirrors."
A solution for reconstruction.
Slowly, everything new takes the place of what is considered old.
The man walks through the streets of a world he no longer recognizes.
He contemplates his fears, what remains of his memories, in a new world
where everything has an expiration date.
He thinks about the significant changes. About what society has become.
He goes back in memory to a time when, walking among people immersed in
their own commitments and devices, he and others like him organized
an invisible act of disobedience.

Director Statement

This short film is a tribute to the dystopian Sci-Fi genre, particularly to the short films produced in Italy in the 1960s (es. “L’Urlo” di Camillo Bazzoni - 1966).
However, it seeks to transport those references into a completely contemporary context, woven into a wholly original narrative.
In the author's intentions, "Millimetri" aims to serve as a warning for those of us who rely too much on novelties and innovations, neglecting what becomes obsolete.
We, who replace many aspects of our lives with the conveniences of technology that set aside our humanity. All of this occurs without forgetting the primary passions that are dear to the authors and from which the entire narrative originates.
