Scope and content

Starting from 50 reels of 8mm and super 8 film recovered in L'Aquila (Italy) and nearby villages after the earthquake of 6th April 2009 (many of them literally torn to rubble thanks to the courage of their owners), I tried to describe the disaster of earthquake to reach a general reflection about memory and its stratifications. In addition to private home movies, I used various audiovisual materials: footages from people with camcorders, cameras or cell phones during the moments and the days after the quake; pictures I shot in L'Aquila and surroundings; images from early cinema films. The differ(a)nce between the audiovisual sources is not only a technical detail, but it assumes an aesthetic and substantial value. It shows the passing of time on the individual and collective memory. The city becomes a metaphor of the fragility of memory.
