“Looking at Tomorrow with a slanted and precise glance. A morning still yet to come, unscheduled actions to be done, but, like during a ceremony, with a devoted presence. So are these children, whose acts complete each other out: awakening, getting ready, playing, taking shelter. This incoming revolution is contained in the gesture of one – who could be many – who is not his or her own «Self» yet, but is already forming a community. The future as preparation, as the wilful thrust before the diving – a diving whose consequences are still unknown, but whose premises are visible. The future as curiosity and discovery of each other’s bodies, both with differences and similarities. The future as a spin, as a challenge to run the world, to make it rain, to go to sleep, waiting for a new tomorrow.”
– Viviana Raciti, curator of Laterale Film festival
Morgen (2018)
is a short film that drifts between documentary and experimental cinema.
The film shows a selection of visual material, collected over a period of six months, in which an intimate observing eye reveals a group of children and their personal interpretation of time. Accessing their microcosm, we see them playfully wander between imagination and reality, the area where similarities and differences are being explored.
Boy or girl,
social or solitary,
domineering or docile.
The film bears witness to the early years of life where the complexity of identity gradually unfolds itself.
