Franco Angeli

16mm film by Franco Angeli.

A young artist, living and working in Rome, drives his car for a long trip to Paris. Into the car also his last work, a sculpture. During the trip he meets Michelle, young french woman. The artist in Paris hopes to sell his sculpture.

An experimental short film made by the painter Franco Angeli in 1984. It represents a crucial moment of intersection between Italian Pop Art (of the so-called School of Piazza del Popolo) and the very first digital technologies of the time. The work is closely linked and coeval with Giulio Turcato's "Color Computer '84" project, having been born in the same context of audiovisual and computer experimentation of the early 80s.

Artists and poets meet in a dreamlike space between walks and performances.

Angeli bears witness to the violence of television images, contrasting it with the desire for action in reality.

Franco Angeli's experimental short film in Big Apple New York with some reminiscences also to Jonas Mekas' Diaries.
