Premise
A. Garlaschelli, R. Grasso (Italy, 6’)
PREMISE is based on the assumption that every encounter between two beings is actually a confrontation. The short film is a story of conflict and torment, which first accompanies us and then drags us along the path of existence itself, tracing the evolution of life on Earth and of Humanity, in the dark places where the fierce desire of the world moves. A primal desire that seeks beauty, but is destined to remain unsatisfied, since it knows no other way to possess it than to destroy it, only to begin again hungrier than before.
