MAGA AL MARGEN - as DISTR / PROMO

Documentary - Completed 2022

“Élan” is a telepathic trip inside the human soul. A direct and private dialog with several humans of very different ages, nationalities, ethnic groups, genders, cultures and histories, trying to find the essentials, sharing similarities and admiring their differences; with the distance of an entomologist before a microscope and the passion of a poet in the presence of her muse.

    • Synopsis

    • In periods of nanoseconds, endless hyperlinks, virtual realities and immaterial contacts, “Élan” undresses us.
      The camera stops the clock and focuses on humans of different ages, genders and nationalities to question them, giving them the floor.
      The result of this is a choral portrait that exposes us.
      The interviewed, the audience and the author, twinned as the survivors of war, craziness and death but also of love. They are charming and fascinating animals, with a common, mysterious and ineluctable destiny.
      “Élan is a survey inside the human soul, searching for the momentum that keeps us alive. A light but deep scanning, which does not await answers and surrenders to doubt, wonder and contemplation.
