Isole
2022 · 13 min
A quiet, dreamlike collage that drifts between memory and geology, asking you to sit still and let fragments settle.
- Directed by
- Desirée Alagna
- Overview
- A voiceover acts as the thread of an intimate narrative, intertwining with the story of Ferdinandea Island, born from a sudden eruption in 1830 off the coast of Sciacca, and disappearing after just six months. The short film blends together various materials: film footage, gameplay from a video game, and operational images from a study of the seabed.
