ANIMATA RESISTENZA
ANIMATED RESISTANCE
Francesco Montagner, Alberto Girotto / Italy / 2014 / 62 min / Colour
A portrait of Simone Massi, “resistant animator”, who in the era of digital animation continues to create his films, photogram by photogram, digging into raw material to make the images emerge, with care and skill that reveal his farming origins. This documentary is a tribute to the artist and his tales, humble stories forgotten by history that speak of his land, his ancestors, and the ancient values of the mountains. Simone Massi tells his stories from the hills of the Marches, with a disenchanted reflection on the lost rural world, and with the memory of the events of the Resistance that took place up here.
