The jury for Lo Schermo dell’Arte Film Festival Prize 2012 for the production of a video by a young Italian artist – Barbara Casavecchia, Andrea Lissoni and Silvia Lucchesi – unanimously decided to award the prize to the project [button link=”http://www.schermodellarte.org/scheda_film.php?id=127&lingua=ENG&nochiudi=1?iframe=true&width=800&height=600″ size=”small” target=”_blank” style=”light” lightbox=”true” ]Mastequoia Op. 09 – 013[/button] by Carlo Gabriele Tribbioli, Giacomo Sponzilli and Gabriele Silli.
The decision was based on the artist’s proven ability to give expression to a complex project, which was started in 2009 and has so far accumulated 70 hours of footage. The Prize should provide concrete help in the project’s final phase.
The project is coherent with the artist’s experience and is marked by a strong subjectivity and a highly unusual, versatile mode of passing through different tonalities.
Trilogia refers to a personal, layered world, and shows the artist’s great capacity to recognize and manipulate various sources and, at the same time, his full awareness of video and cinema languages.
The film’s theme was also considered particularly interesting: a metaphorical portrait of three cities – Rotterdam, Tokyo and Fèz – a visual element from which three independent episodes emerge, interconnected by various callings and quotations. These are constructed by weaving elements of fiction and documentary materials with footage of landscapes and everyday life, in which the narration is determined less by the writing of a screenplay than by both casual conditions and others provoked and acted upon.
