Visions du Réel will have the joy and honour of hosting Tatiana Huezo Sánchez, a filmmaker who has had ties with the Festival for many years, and Pietro Marcello, an adventurous director with a singular body of work, as part of the Festival’s 2021 Ateliers. The works of the two filmmakers, in their respective uniqueness, enable us to further demonstrate the artistic importance and diversity of the contemporary non-fiction filmmaking landscape.
The wealth of their cinematographical horizons will also be the subject of two public Masterclasses, true to the tradition of the Ateliers. Pietro Marcello is invited in partnership with the HEAD (Geneva University of Art and Design).
Through a body of work as committed as it is personal, Tatiana Huezo Sánchez paints the portrait of her country and relentlessly denounces the mechanisms of terror, employing a poetic and sensitive cinematographical language, which succeeds, with great decency, in giving substance to absence, violence and suffering.
As for Pietro Marcello, his work, falling within a formally audacious and sensual contemporary Italian cinematographical—often non-fiction—scene (Alice Rohrwacher, Michelangelo Frammartino, Roberto Minervini, etc.), is imbued with his profound interest for literature and art history, constantly reinventing cinematographical codes with humanism, romanticism and great artistic freedom. |
