XV Festival Internacional de Cine Documental
Synopsis
Rivisitazione dello sciopero is an audiovisual project by Cosimo Terlizzi and Luca Maria Baldini, inspired by Pier Paolo Pasolini’s long-lost documentary on the street sweepers’ strike of April 24, 1970, found in 2005 without audio. Created for the centenary of his birth, the work reinterprets the original footage through a live sound performance in which voices, samples, synthesizers, and analog instruments shape an immersive perceptual experience. Pasolini’s voice emerges through the faces of the workers, generating a powerful semantic and sonic interplay, interwoven with excerpts from Alberto Moravia’s speech at his funeral. Edited from 84 to 40 minutes, the piece becomes a live audiovisual journey connecting historical memory and contemporary sensibility.
In collaboration with AAMOD, the Audiovisual Archive of the Italian Labor and Democratic Movement
