Still from film Francis

Film made during an art residency at Atelier A, Apricale, Italy, in collaboration with kids aged between 4-10 years old from a local school.
Using memory as a tool, a new, private, and collective version of the film “Flowers of Saint Francis” by Rossellini was made using moving image, and photography, to unravel a narrative that gradually unfolds around the 15 children and two characters that see their search of meaning and their narrative continuously defeated in favor of the incomplete, the aleatory. A group of 15 children is told to find, a fox, a whale, a bird, a leopard, an octopus, a river shrimp, a shark, and a bee; they try to manage the distribution of olives in the group and initiate a discussion on how they feel about nature leading to question their representation in the film.
