Kino B: Contemporary Cinema by Berlin-based Artists

THE MUTABILITY OF ALL THINGS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF CHANGING SOME by Anna Marziano

(2011, Super 16mm on video, color, sound, 16:00)

This journey into mutability takes place in Abruzzi, Italy, in a territory that was damaged by the earthquake in 2009. By way of fragments of conversations, archive material and readings in public spaces, the film explores the becoming of individual and social bodies. How should one accommodate the perpetual new beginning of things and continue participating in the transformation of a community?

Anna Marziano (1982, Italy) studied filmmaking at Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia (Rome) and Political Sciences (Padova). In 2009 she moved to France supported by the Film Commission Friuli Venezia Giulia Fellowship. She attended the Ateliers Varan (Paris) and participated in Le Fresnoy – Studio National (Tourcoing). Anna's practice explores the construction of contemporary identity through a film process that questions subjectivity, social roles and multiple singularities, often involving a collaborative practice. Her films are screened internationally (Toronto International Film Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Torino International Film Festival, LIDF London) and are distributed by Nomadica – Circuito per il cinema autonomo. She lives in Berlin.
