 |
Following a request for collaboration launched on Internet to filmmakers all over the world, the first cinematographic example of collective creativity and shared production has become possible outside the traditional film market structure. After four years of work, during which Internet has been the only production office for this film and new digital technologies have enabled work at extremely low costs, it has now been confirmed that a new space has opened where artists from all over the world can express their points of view free from any external conditioning.
The idea for this film occurred to Pietro Jona and Paolo Ronchi ( the project’s co-authors) four years ago in Rome. The initial objectives for this artistic and human experience were to use cinema as a research tool, provide visibility to artists outside market rules, and create films based on ideas and creativity, not a budget. After months of work, thousands of e-mails and some telephone calls, a group of filmmakers willing to make the film was finally assembled. Over the following months, all aspects of production were developed and managed from Italy to Thailand, from Brazil to Australia and from Spain to South Africa. Pietro Jona, the project’s director and coordinator, has shared this work with directors from the countries involved in the project in an effort to create a film where it is possible to find styles and viewpoints that differ completely one from another. MOVE! is an independent film. Independent of what? Independent of everything! The film was produced by the production team associated with Human’s Point and by Photologie, an Italian production company that works in the advertising field.
PLOT:
Move! narrates the confusion reigning at present and searches humanity to find a gesture or a desire. It follows the movement of people and their stories within the abruptness of “HISTORY”.
Move! tries to photograph the human beings that populate the earth at any one moment during our century. The only connecting thread between these tales is man’s movement understood in its most general sense. In fact, there is a little bit of everything in the stories that compose Move!: a newborn abandoned in the centre of Rome, who is moved from one hospital to another by corrupt humanity; Brazilian lift operators; people travelling along the Mekong or toward Cuba in search of a direction for their souls; disenchanted Australians who meet in the underground; trips across a “monster” metropolis like Mexico City; or simply Madrid’s urban neurosis. All of this stems from a visual idea, one of the kind that you only see in a James Bond film; in other words, it is a story that goes from one point of the planet to another while always maintaining its own logic and excitement.
The point of reference for this film’s cosmopoitan staff is HUMAN’S POINT, a production company created in Spain by Pietro Jona, Paolo Ronchi and Andrea Camilletti. |
