Fughe lineari in progressione psichica
Fughe lineari in progressione psichica
Annabella Miscuglio
An experimental short film by a pioneer of the Italian women’s movement. Following the landmark 1971 collective film L’Aggetivo Donna, Annabella Miscuglio turned to intimate film portraits. In this short film, whose title translates as »Linear Fugue in Psychic Evolution«, she creates an intense artistic imagery by montaging two contrasting motifs: an industrial landscape flying by and close-ups of a woman’s portrait.
