Openings – Sguardi oltre il limite
Muse Factory of Projects, 52 min, Italy, 2021
Openings explores the world of architectural elements that “embody” the concept of threshold, openness and the relationship between inside and outside. By approaching the subject from an immaterial, almost “spiritual” perspective, the film investigates the close relationship between art and life, between necessity and creativity, between philosophy and civil thought. The film was shot along the Via Emilia, in a journey full of stops, crossings, wanderings. Among the guides, Davide Cassani, Guido Guidi, Andrea Stella and Rossella Miccio, but also Raoul Casadei, who turned Romagna into a real “state of mind”.
