No sugar coating here dear listeners. We dive into this Italian neorealism film Paisan with artist/activist Celia Álvarez Muñoz, an octogenarian who is inspired by the commonality of the characters, who despite not being able to speak the same language, make meaningful connections. This six episodic film carefully crafts stories about the humanity of war from the perspective of ordinary people, allowing us to see a range of conflicts and emotions. Join us as we attempt to tie a rope around Roberto Rosselini's film with an artist who is deeply invested in personal and historical experiences. Tangents: white telephone movies, Hollywood props, silent films, German Expressionism, Netflix by mail, Wes Anderson, The Night Porter For more information about Celia's studio practice, check out follow her Facebook page.
