Acciaio (Direction)

Valentina Parati – Acciaio (Direction)

Through a metaphor with mechanical overtones, an unbroken chain of three situations, divergent and yet so connected by a single element: pulsating, living steel. A family car with a mom and her kid, a furious truck, flying cars. An endless lullaby of engines.

Diploma project (2024) by Valentina Parati

Experimental / 12 min

Synopsis

In a world dominated by the incessant hum of engines, the memories of a young mother and daughter gently resurface in the midst of the chaos. We follow them inside their car, transformed here into a metaphorical living space.  We see them alternating between trucks washing and spinning madly, roads going by, lights pulsating and car wrecks on the verge of coming to an end. A journey of self-discovery, towards the rebirth of something else, transforming an hidden present into the magical exploration of a lost love.
