Two Forgotten Boxes –A Trip to Vietnam

Cecilia Mangini 2020 Italy Documentary b/w & color 60min Italian DCP
It’s a film that deals with war, with memory that fades, with challenges to passing time. It’s also about a film never made: the one Cecilia MANGINI was preparing to shoot in Vietnam with her late partner Lino del Fra. A trip of which only both of their journals and notes remain, and two forgotten boxes of photographs taken by Cecilia, who cast a close and horizontal gaze, absolutely unheard of, on the Vietnamese people. A thread that serves MANGINI to recapitulate on her vital choices, on how the world has changed since then, and on the creative future of a fireproof and fierce woman.
