Please Leave a Message: Anthology Film Archives Voicemails Through the Ages
This very special film features a carefully curated selection of some of the priceless messages that have graced Anthology’s voicemail system over the years. From the historically important to the utterly (and sublimely) absurd, they feature a cast of characters ranging from legendary avant-garde filmmakers, scholars, and other cultural figures to civilians whose legend has (until now) been confined to the offices of Anthology, thanks precisely to their witty, eloquent, eccentric – or in some cases unforgettably psychotic – voicemails. We’ve toyed with the idea of sharing these messages in some form for years, and the “Imageless Films” series provides a perfect pretext.
Padre Pio
Writer
It is the end of World War I and the young Italian soldiers are making their way back to San Giovanni Rotondo, a land of poverty, with a tradition of violence and submission to the iron-clad rule of the church and its wealthy landowners. Families are desperate, the men are broken, albeit victorious. Padre Pio also arrives, at a remote Capuchin monastery, to begin his ministry, evoking an aura of charisma, saintliness and epic visions of Jesus, Mary and the Devil himself. The eve of the first free elections in Italy sets the stage for a massacre with a metaphorical dimension: an apocalyptic event that changes the course of history.

Sibéria
Director
Clint, um homem atormentado pelo passado, decide se isolar em uma casa nas montanhas. Nesse ambiente frio e hostil, ele vive sozinho e, em alguns raros momentos, interage com viajantes e nativos que não falam seu idioma e que visitam sua cafeteria. O isolamento, porém, não é o bastante para que Clint encontre paz. Certa noite, confrontando seus problemas, ele acaba embarcando em uma viagem interna por meio de sonhos, memórias e delírios. Em Sibéria, Abel Ferrara repete sua parceria com o ator Willem Dafoe. Juntos, eles voltam a explorar a intimidade e as aflições do homem, como fizeram em Tommaso (2019) e Pasolini (2014), mas de uma forma mais mítica e lúdica.

A existência cotidiana do artista americano, pairando entre a realidade e, muitas vezes, a precária fantasia, é pontuada por encontros gratificantes e frustrantes que Tommaso tem com os “proprietários” de vários destinos e consigo mesmo.

Hans
Director
In July of this year, Hans Hurch travelled to Rome to meet Abel Ferrara and discuss the terms and content for a potential Viennale trailer with him. Following Hurch's unexpected death, Ferrara conceived the trailer as an obituary: We see a landscape at dusk and hear music and children crying in the distance. The face of the late Viennale director is superimposed, his first name pronounced by an electronically distorted voice that can hardly be understood. Captured in an extremely aesthetic manner, a photo of Bob Dylan in his youth and an emblematic image of John Ford with a black patch over his eye are rolling past. Abel Ferrara's trailer is a phantasmagoria, a visual game of deception, combining some of the things that were important to Hans Hurch with dream-like sequences and celebrating a moment of utmost existential compression. In his accompanying note, Ferrara wrote: "A small thank you to someone who constantly and consistently maintained the dream of the eternal cinema."
