I CAMILLAS NEGLI OCCHI (Italia, 2016, 48’) di Giacomo Giardinieri
With the presence of the director and Ruben Camillas
An episode film: Zagor and Ruben Camillas, since 2004, four albums, an EP, and hundreds of concerts everywhere. Plus TV, radio, cinema, and theatre. Michael and Theodore join the line-up. In 2020, Zagor passes away and the Camillas become an echo in the shape of a cloud – unforgettable.
Giacomo Giardinieri is a freelance videographer. He puts his technical expertise at the service of visual storytelling, seeking the perfect balance between light, time, and emotion in all his project.
In Rome, there were kids who would steal sparks from American Hardcore to create a clandestine tradition made of sweat, worn tapes, and punk saints. In Florence, the nights of the 1980’s would become shimmering experiences: Pelù screamed in the alleys, Bruno Casini opened portals, and the town danced like a sleepless creature covered in sequins and nicotine. Then came the silence of the pandemic. Cosmo set up a big party with no social distancing and brought the stars inside a marquee. Meanwhile, The Longest Shadow lay across landscapes like a record dreamed by a plotless cinema: visual poetry, presage, songs that exist even before they are sung. Zagor would ride across all this on a horse. The Camillas would laugh in people’s faces, and the Late – à la Pirandello – Wall of Sound became a pirate ship: “C’mon, let’s go!” But where? Roads to Nowhere does not know. All in all, it doesn’t care to find out!
Anthony Ettorre and Paola Cassano
