POPULIST PASTORAL (IN SMOKE)
This film — a collaboration between the US/Italian writer Jennifer Scappettone and the Tanzanian filmmaker and photographer Nicholas Calvin Mwakatobe — was made in the central Italian landscape of Umbria in September 2019, at the Civitella Ranieri Foundation outside of Umbertide, where they met. The project emerged out of their conversations about how poetry that dwells intentionally in visual and sonic fields might be presented as process as well as artifact, and their discussions of how reading might be exposed as a time-based medium, beyond the intimate space and time of live performance.
