Screening the
Real: Alina Marazzi's Maternal Trilogy
Alina Marazzi,
is an internationally acclaimed director of documentaries, fiction film and
theatrical works. Many of her films address issues of gender, motherhood and
memory. This presentation focuses on three films that are commonly referred to
as her maternal trilogy: Un’ora sola ti vorrei (For one
more hour with you, 2002) Vogliamo anche le rose (We
Want Roses Too, 2007) and Tutto parla di te (All About
You, 2013), her first fiction film starring Charlotte
Rampling. Marazzi will use clips from the films to
highlight the importance that cinematic form and experimentation take in her
re-invention of the real. She considers the reconstruction of her mother’s life
and its relationship to women’s history in For one more hour with you;
the search for new models for women arising out of the movements of
the 1970s in We Want Roses Too, and the way fiction functions
as a form of alter-ego in representations of maternity and maternal ambivalence
in All About You.
