Part II.

"Panzano"
experimental short fiction, 16mm, colour 22´, 1998-2000
direction, camera and editing: Rosa Barba - Ulrike Molsen

Valeria, Claudio and Dino are living in a house located on the top of a hill. An old house in a beautiful landscape in Italy. Nobody knows where they came from. They just appeared.
They create a formation called family. They observe each other, they quarrel and sometimes they are tender. This is what you can see and what they keep pretending. But something is strange.
The film behaves like its protagonists, keeping its nature secret by pretending to be fiction.
Panzano enters in the world of madness without mentioning it.

Panzano was screened CinemaTexas 2000, where it won the Director's Award, and at Montevideo, Amsterdam, International Film Festival Rotterdam, FCMM Festival Montreal, and in Cologne, Pisa, Odense (DK), Brussels, Split (HR), Rio de Janeiro, Cork (EIRE), Bologna, among others.
