Screenings “Rasti” and “Green Over Gray”

On Thursday, 3 October, from 4:30 p.m., the short film “Rasti” by Paolo Bonfadini and Davide Morando and the docufilm “Green Over Gray” by Francesca Molteni and Mattia Colombo will be shown at Fondazione Riccardo Catella.

The collaboration between Kartell and OffiCine-IED brought to life “Rasti” under the artistic supervision of Silvio Soldini and the direction of Paolo Bonfadini and Davide Morando. It explores the theme of light as a form of language through the evocative power of the light of Kartell’s lamps that become the story’s co-stars. “Rasti” (length 17 minutes) deals with a delicate moment of change: Anna is growing up and is no longer a little girl. Her father (Lino Guanciale), with the loving complicity of his companion (Eleonora Giovanardi), tries to find a way to communicate with her. The fairy tale is narrated by the voice of Adriano Giannini. It transmits a phantasmagoria of lights and shadows, a Morse code of alternating sweet illusions and nostalgic memories of a parent suspended between his desire to preserve the wonder of childhood and the fear of getting lost in a more intermittent contact.

“Green Over Gray” (length 55 minutes) is the docufilm that tells the story of the Green Architecture revolution through several eloquent projects by the architect Emilio Ambasz (born in Resistencia, Argentina in 1943) from the 1970s up to the early 2000s. They anticipate today’s debate on climate change and its impact and restore a view of Nature that today – more than 40 years later – we recognise as a turning point in man’s relationship with the environment. The docufilm is directed by Francesca Molteni and Mattia Colombo, concept by Fulvio Irace.
