A summer day in Italy. The camera follows the deaf-mute Giacomo and a childhood girlfriend Stefi closely – in the woods, by the river – without wanting to disrupt the mystery of their relationship, between restrained sensuality and childhood games.

Jagdfieber

Alessandro Comodin

Hunting is less the act of drawing than a real process: a puzzle, strategy, instinct and adrenaline. Fever of the hunt is a condition where one becomes animal, as the animal that one seeks.

I tempi felici verranno presto

Alessandro Comodin

Sabrina Seyvecou, Erikas Sizonovas

Tommaso and Arturo are on the run in a remote forest. They hunt for food, trying to survive and find their way through the lush nature. It’s quiet, almost peaceful, until the sound of gunshots… Many years later, this forest has a wolf problem. It’s here where Ariane discovers a strange hole in the ground. Could she be the woman referred to in the valley’s legends?

Il Mio Giardino Primordiale : Conversazione con Alessandro Comodin

Simona Fina, Roberto Turigliatto

Alessandro Comodin

Director Alessandro Comodin recounts for Fuori Orario the genesis of his two films, "Summer of Giacomo" and "Happy times will come soon" and reflects on his own conception of cinema: the need for escape and movement, the adolescence of moving bodies and the perception of passing time, the importance of locations and immersion in nature, the technical practice during filming, the approach to the cinematographic medium as a way to see better and to establish a relationship of sensory capture of reality, the relationship with the actors. With references to his favorite filmmakers, from Bresson and Monteiro to Wang Bing, and to the recurring images of his films: the hole and the labyrinth, the loop of time and epilogues, the fairy tale and metamorphosis.
