Synopsis:
While wandering the streets and canals of Venice, Italy, two filmmakers experience dualities: modernity and antiquity, crowded and empty spaces, melancholy and joyfulness, static and kinetic, day and night. Their distilled experiences are translated through the lens of this collaborative diptych.
About the Film:
La Struttura/Flusso-Flux is a collaborative experimental city symphony built from the directors’ sensory experiences in Venice. They were invited to Venice for a screening of their previous films and instinctively started indexing their time together. As they moved through the city, they filmed and photographed their surroundings, sometimes landing in the same place. What resulted is a diptych that shows both each director’s unique vision and how their work intersects.
Premiere screening in September 2025 as part of the Rochester Fringe Festival
