"THIS IS NOT A HORROR MOVIE" (2014)
HD - 1920x1080 - 00:06:24 - Animation short film - Written, directed and animated by Silvia De Gennaro
SYNOPSIS:
Il video è una visualizzazione degli orrori dei nostri tempi, dove il male sembra aver scalzato il bene dalla faccia della terra. Guerre, terrorismo, femminicidio, tragedie dei migranti, dittature economiche e ritorno di ideologie nazi-fasciste soffocano la nostra capacità di restare umani. L’indifferenza, forse la meno cruenta delle manifestazioni dell’orrore, è in realtà la più importante perché permette a tutto il resto di esistere.
It's not a horror movie but a displaying of the horror that surrounds us. Evil seems to have ousted the good from the face of the earth. Indifference is one of its manifestations, less obvious than others, but no less harmful.
