Three movies by Anna Franceschini
UNTITLED (ALMOST LOST)
Super8 film transferred on dvd, colour - mute, 49”, looped (shot at 18 and 24 FPS), 2010;
with the support of the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten - Amsterdam
A short observation shot in a mosque in Cairo. Less than one Super8 film cartridge exposed. Edited while shot. The piece seems to be lost in time. The author unknown. A recreated found object, that includes a ‘ghost’ frame.
THE SIBERIAN GIRL
16 mm film ransferred on dvd, colour - mute, 1’, 2012
The film A Girl Siberian born as an assembly of parts and doll faces. The fiction of the narrative is constantly being revealed by the presence of elements like air and light, which underline the work’s temporal duality: the real time and the time of the film narrative.
YOU MUST BELIEVE IT TO SEE IT (LE TEMPESTAIRE)
16mm film transferred on dvd, color-mute, 5' 59'', 2012
The film is a long sequence in which a ship moves through the waves of a stormy sea. The intervention of an ex machina event changes the fate of the ship, revealing the oldest system of cinematographic fiction.
Anna Franceschini’s film display creates an immersive universe in which we are caught in a continuous back-and-forth between reality and make-believe.
