The Day Has Many Eyes

1980 • 57 min • Iceland

A documentary on the inhabitants and unique natural environment of the Western Isles of Breidarfjördur bay, Iceland. Photographed in 1975-1980, the film mirrors in a one-year cycle the age-old ties between man and nature. The film asks why these islands, where there was once a flourishing community, are now practically deserted, a little known utopia where time stands still.

Ein Haus in Prenzlauer Berg

1980 • 44 min • East Germany, Germany

A 360° shot from Schönhauser Allee reveals Stargarder Straße 3A’s neglected courtyard, where tenants, spurred by community leader Michalski, restore its greenery. Built in 1900 as a social-democratic workers’ cooperative, “the red block” once housed activists, ran its own kindergarten and summer fêtes. Wartime saw Nazi block wards, Post-’45 resident Bruno return, and ’50s festivals fade. By the ’60s, tenant turnover and mixed generations reshaped its life. Now, the film crew’s presence reunites residents for the first courtyard celebration since 1952, closing past and present.

Fragments of an interior space

1980 • 4 min • Italy

Fragments of an interior space has been realized in 1980 with P.P. Fassetta. Images roused by the meeting between reality and imagination and gathered in the mental space of the story, change as perceptions and states of mind change. The poetry of the bodily expression and the matter which is free to act in the vacuum, blend in the mutual feeling of nature.

Collection série noire : Tome 4

1980 • 20 min • France

Back to the pollution caused by oil tankers. After the Torrey Canyon in 1967, the Olympic Bravery in 1976, the Böhlen in 1976, the Amoco Cadiz in 1978, the Gino in 1979, it was the Tanio which ran aground in 1980 off the coast of Brittany, eight dead and spilling 15,000 tonnes of oil. The director makes the sad observation of the impotence of the public authorities in the face of the situation and expresses his desolation and his anger.

Lo Spazio Interiore

1980 • 15 min

he white wings of a dove seem to come out of the darkness of the infinite night of the soul. As if looking for an escape route, the dove plows through the space of a house, flies grazing over a house of cards, flies over a baroque table set ... The television screen, teeming with pixels, swallows the eye projecting it into an unknown deep space of nature technological. Visions of medieval and contemporary battles, baroque allegories, Bosch and Dulle Griet and hedonistic paradises alternate with dazzling images: a sicilian performance by the Living Theater, faces that splash from the screen, overlap, suddenly emerge from the unconscious. Each moment of vision contains Time, which pulsates on the screen, compressed and flashing, at the speed of 24 frames per second.

Notte veloce

1980 • 10 min • Italy

My 1980 video performance Notte veloce was created by me thinking of a distant summer night, of a memory of a curious event, in which I saw a large nocturnal moth flapping its wings and colliding against a lit street lamp. Often the observations of simple events or casual encounters with abandoned objects and natural occurrences have been very important for creating my works in video and photography.
