    Come to Light | Venire alla luce

    Marco Ceccolini
    Italia | 2024 | 5’00’’

    A man struggles on a bed as if drowning in a nightmare. In front of a similar sheet, in an empty cinema, a mother breastfeeds her child, immersed in deep silence. A silent film tells the story of a cow, marked with the number “432,” wandering on a beach in desperate search of her missing calf. When the cow finds the calf dead, marked with the number “433,” the film dies with it.

    Direction: Marco Ceccolini
    Animation: Marco Ceccolini
