Il raccoglitore di alghe by Paolo Santangelo
The music for a new dreamlike short film by Paolo Santangelo, entitled “Il raccoglitore di alghe” (“The seaweed gatherer” aka “The algae picker”), was completed this evening.
It is an introductory work (but with its own breath) of a docufilm focusing on the real life of a person and his desire to escape from an life of misery and marginalisation.
Comprimary, but not secondary – as in all the director’s works – is the sea, with its magic capable of leading the protagonist to a reality outside of time, in which to take refuge while remaining himself.
