While sea level continues to rise at a rate about one-eighth of an inch per year, the theme treated by “Tempo d’acqua” (“Time of water”) becomes more and more relevant.

Presented as a short intro for Biennale di Pisa 2019, “Tempo d’Acqua” was produced together with Alfonso Femia. The short film suggests the changes of the world and contemporary ways of living merging architecture and water. It does it by speaking of the “cycles of existence”, the times in which water gave and took, pointing out the necessity to introduce a slow time alongside the frenetic time that everyday life imposes on us.

As for “The Moon Codex”, Rome Independent Prisma Awards judging team thought that “Tempo d’Acqua” has something to tell too! Actually, the short film was selected in the festival competition for the “Best Animation Short” category in the monthly official selection, and is now among the finalists.

While we hope that our film will receive an official nomination - the winners of the month competition will be announced on Wednesday April 21st at 9pm CET on the festival’s Twitch channel - we feel more and more stimulated to create new artworks!

Another couple of fingers crossed.
