Manuale di cinematografia per dilettanti VOL 1
- A Companion for Amateur Cinematographers: Vol. I - by Federico Di Corato found footage / 2022 / Italy / 20’ Set against the backdrop of Italy in the years of the fascist dictatorship, a man of means, yet unknown to history, scrutinises the world through his small cine camera. Guiding him and teaching him is a manual; the buds of ideology are detectable beneath the seemingly impartial tone it uses to describe technique. But in his films, the ineffable signs of resistance still rise to the surface. |
Federico Di Corato was born in Andria in 1991 and he lives in Milan. He graduated from the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA), where he now teaches film editing. He is one of the founding partners of the Re-framing Home Movies association, which works to safeguard and promote amateur film heritage. He has directed three short films. “The Shack” and “(s)words” both explore the theme of private memory, through the aesthetic of video tape devices; both were presented in competition at the Locarno Film Festival. “A Companion for Amateur Cinematographers: Vol. I” is the result of his research into Fascist-era manuals for amateur cine enthusiasts; it was presented in competition at the Venice Film Festival.

by Claudia Munksgaard-Palmqvist found footage / 2024 / Denmark / 7’ 19’’ A Visualization of a Cut is an experimental animated short film in three chapters exploring the connection between the cinematic cut and human relations extracted from home movies.
