The Flower of Pain
Cinematography
A semi-autobiographical film about an adolescent relationship, about emotional illiterates of a particular age and milieu. Structured as a series of fragments – so called “shards of memory” – the film follows the progressive dissolution of the affair in search for clues to its undoing.
Grace Going Awkwardly
Director
Portable cinema in Rome's Campo de' Fiori neighborhood parses the gestures and flows of everyday space as people go about routines of installing, displacing, transforming, and carting away the objects that define such adaptive architectural places as street markets and parking lots.
