Introduction
Filmed in Turin from March 16 to 23, 1986, on the occasion of the retrospective dedicated to Canadian experimental director Michael Snow by the Turin Youth Cinema Festival, the film is divided into two parts.
Synopsis
In the first, Snow retraces his artistic history by commenting on his films (excerpts from which are shown), while in the second the authors launch into an improvisation "in the Snow manner" recorded without interruptions (and then reworked by improvising in real time) during an informal meeting with the artist and his partner Peggy Gale, attended by some guests linked to the world of music and cinema.
The film is a re-release of the video that won the Silver Seagull at the Bellaria Anteprima Festival in 1986.
37 years later, the two directors have created a digital and subtitled version of the film, adding a further tribute to the artist: in the second part of the film, words and characters are extracted from the participants' dialogues, filling the screen in the manner of Snow.
