Stargazing. A dialogue on creation between serial silence-killers

Lying in total darkness, two young immortals discuss whether it is time to create the World once again. A cosmogonic screwball comedy.

Director’s Statement:

Stargazing is a film that pushes towards nothingness. Stylistically, grammatically, dramaturgically. To represent the emptiness and inhumanity of a virgin and pre-linguistic space, the choice was to use a square aspect ratio, to lower the fps to 16, to desaturate the image to the point of making it ectoplasmic. The frame becomes a totally neutral space in which shapes are now drawn and now erased, always reabsorbed into absolute darkness. In seven minutes Stargazing talks about the birth and death of the universe and, at the same time, about the contradictory drives at the basis of every creative act: the will to express, and the equally powerful will to say nothing, for fear of killing the silence.
