E COSÌ ENTRA LA LUCE

(AND THAT'S HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN)

90 min, Colour, Stereo

In a distant, post-human future, four childlike beings wander the idyllic landscapes of what was once Italy. Through the wondering eye of an insect spirit, we follow their oneiric quest for names in a world where the echoes of humanity still linger, and the mundane and the mystical are one. An ethnographic fable co-created with inhabitants of the earthquake-ravaged town of Accumoli and entirely captured through a specially-designed pinhole camera system, And That's How the Light Gets In offers an entrancing celebration of resilience, regeneration, and the delicate power of imagination.
