LA FREQUENZA FANTASMA

Italy, 2020, Chiara Ambrosio, 72mins

With a presentation and Q&A session with artist and filmmaker Chiara Ambrosio

La Frequenza Fantasma (The Ghost Frequency) is a feature film that paints a non-hierarchical portrait of a crumbling village nestled on the mountains of Calabria, in the south of Italy, balanced precariously between life and death. Engaging with time as physical matter through a careful and protracted period of observation framed through the lens of an animator’s eye (keen on allowing for minute transformations to occur and unlock all kind of quiet epiphanies), this film attempts to uncover at once the layers of historical sediment that have accumulated in a particular space through time, and to reap new myths through a personal interpretation and direct encounter with place and narrative.
