While tidying up during the lockdown 2020, I found photos I had taken during a night spent in the last porn movie show in my border town shortly before they decided to stop for good in 1993. I spread the photos out on our kitchen table and filmed them with my smartphone. Based on this sketch, I created a totally virtual film in 3D with three friends, also confined to their homes.

Nel 1993 cessava l’attività del Cinema-Teatro di Chiasso come cinema a luci rosse. Con la mia Leica nascosta nel cappotto ho documentato l’ultima proiezione hard-core della cittadina di confine. Durante il confinamento ho ritrovato le fotografie, le ho disposte sul tavolo della cucina e con i miei amici ho creato un film virtuale, lavorando a distanza. Una sfida nuova per me, cineasta che ha iniziato l’attività con la pellicola.
