AUTOGRAPHY

DOC
103’
2004

With this documentary, it is not intended to portray the poet and painter Mario Cesariny, but his life, his journey and his individuality. Since this is a work that lives mainly of the (absent) placed questions and the respective responses, we chose to take, as a guide, one of his poems – “Autografia” – which serves as the theme, through its analysis to the intended questions, so that the film takes an intimate character, establishing a dialogue between those who see and who is portrayed. In this documentary/book there are several layouts: the poem analysis; the responses; his work (exposed in his intimacy) and our own interpretation; a sort of glean/recycle quotes and content that ultimately allow us to an appropriation of Mario Cesariny.
