re.azioni

Re.azioni is an experimental short film created from archival footage of AAMOD. The film is based on the dialogue between two types of images: colorful nature documentaries and black-and-white shots of hands and faces. Re.azioni is a film about creation and perception, but it leaves many paths of interpretation open. In addition to the meanings that each viewer can find, it is an invitation to contemplation, listening, and feeling.

The film is divided into three parts, each depicting a primordial component of the Earth. The first part portrays the creation of our planet through volcanoes, geysers, and explosions, interspersed with gesturing hands (those of Pasolini) and female silhouettes against naturalistic backgrounds. The second part depicts the ocean through the eyes of an observer, a man with black eyes who watches the underwater passage with wonder and anguish. The final part represents life: a bird in flight, a falling seed, and vast forests are interspersed with hands marking time. The rhythm progressively accelerates to a climax where frames from the first two parts appear. The film concludes with an image of the Earth seen from space.

Every time we act, we influence the world around us and change its form. But at the same time, the world reacts back to us and influences us in turn. It's a continuous cycle of mutual transformation that is inherent in the very nature of existence.
