Zimmerfrei, de Manincor Anna (ZimmerFrei)
LUMI - Trio
Doc. expérimental | 4k | | 0:0 | Italie | 2020
A drifting conversation takes place in the interior of the former residence of the Pope of the Enlightenment in Bologna, Italy. LUMI – Trio was conceived and filmed in bird's-eye long takes combining fictional narration, staged documentary and re-enactment. Although they have different origins -Omar was born in Ghana and raised in Italy, Yakub emigrated from Nigeria, Bianca is Italian- the three friends are coming of age in the same city and their shared desire to explore the world makes them aware of the arbitrary limits imposed by their passports. Their languid talks range from quarantine to desires for escape, from projections about the future to mutual attraction, discovering that some prejudices still separate the group of “us” from “ the others”.
Anna de Manincor | ZimmerFrei Born in Trento (Italy), lived in various cities - for work and for choice - including Bologna, Marseille, Brooklyn, Bari, Brussels and a Greek island of the Dodecanese. Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and Sassari (Sardinia). Since 2000 works within the collective ZimmerFrei, founded with sound designer Massimo Carozzi and artist Anna Rispoli and realized several documentary films, video installations, soundwalks, performances and public art projects. Exploring the boundaries between public space and private territories, ZimmerFrei portrays everyday situations of living and working, seeking for sudden and unstable epiphanies. ZimmerFrei’s recent works are dedicated to urban and rural contexts in transformation, observing temporary communities taking shape, fading away or transforming again. Most of the film works are created on site thanks to residence production grants (Belgium, France, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Italy, Greece and China) or with international co-production (Italy-France-Belgium). Since 2011, the long term working cycles by ZimmerFrei have been produced with European funds, in the frame of InSitu Network (Temporary Cities: 6 documentary films), Open Latitudes (Family Affair, live format with local participants in 8 European cities) and Atlas of Transitions (Saga, doc in 4 episodes).
