200 Feet for March 31st

Movie · 0h 17m

Starring Fabrizio Buccarella, Silvano Fua, Costanzo Lemmi, Laura Onorati

Most of this silent film was shot in Rome within one day, March 31, 1968, and edited in the camera (a 100-feet double8 BW film roll). It is divided in six episodes following an ancient Indian text, Katha Upanishad, in which a youth, Nakiketa, converses with Death. Every section presents an event of that day and refers to a writer and a painter. The film captures some of the excitement of Spring 1968 in Europe and elsewhere.
