Dopo il cinema. Le domande di una regista

In this brilliant essay, Alice Rohrwacher, and Goffredo Fofi bring the past, present, and future of cinema into dialogue, opening a window onto the seventh art through which to peek with the help of their visionary gaze.
Rohrwacher and Fofi question the relationship between the twentieth century’s most beloved art form and our capitalist world, the education of new generations, and the rampant wave of individualism that surrounds them. They discuss not only cinema but also the world as it is and whether to accept or reject it. The work of Elsa Morante and Rohrwacher’s movies serve as a cornerstone for these reflections, which are not limited but rather enriched by contact with other arts, artists, and their perspectives: eyes, viewpoints, that can and must show something different to those who experience them.
At last, Fofi presses Rohrwacher on her voice as a woman and how important it is to be a vanguard and prepare the present for change through one’s own unique vision. Dopo il cinema unfolds as a dialogue where the themes of the conversation intertwine and take on a new form.
