To mark World Alzheimer's Day, celebrated on Sunday, September 21, the Antonio Dalle Nogare Foundation is pleased to present the short film Stanze, directed by South Tyrolean filmmaker Amedeo Sartori, on Saturday, September 20, at 11.00 AM in the Black Box.A voiceover describes an intense memory among the images, sharing with the viewer a reflection on the value of preserving, with commitment and affection, those unpredictable moments of tenderness, revealing fragility and beauty in their fleeting presence.
The short film, shot inside the Alzheimer's Center at the Don Bosco Retirement Home in Bolzano, is an intimate interpretation of the concept of time and memory, whose protagonists are the residents of a suspended place, where memories and feelings meet in search of their identity.
In this film, Sartori, instead of describing life and routine within the Alzheimer's Center, preferred to build an audiovisual narrative based on one of his memories, making this place and its residents the absolute protagonists of an intimate story. This is a reflection on aging, illness, and the importance of preserving one's memory, especially in those brief moments of tenderness in which fragility and beauty are revealed.
Marked by the rhythm of the voiceover, the camera moves calmly around the Center, whose gaze is fixed on a suspended moment in time, searching for a dialogue between immobility and movement.
The screening will be followed by a talk between the director and Barbara Zerbini, Manager of the Alzheimer's Center.
