For Pina
Italy / 2015 / 4’ 55″
Michele Bernardi has created a portrait of the dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch, inspired by various film and video clips of her in the incessant studio of movement. The animation is rotoscoped and it recapture the almost abstract quality of dance. The soundtrack by Luca D’Alberto enhances the succession of images and recomposes a unique cameo whom the legendary Pina she is.
