To A God Unknown
An intimate short about spirituality.
3/5
- Drama, Experimental
- Italy
- 2020
- 9 min
The film, primarily in Italian, is thoughtfully made accessible to a wider audience with English subtitles. The footage captures various joyful scenes, from skiing trips and beach resorts to zoo visits and Christmas celebrations. Bertagna’s title choice – which translates as “Stolen Memory” – proves apt as the film delves into the nostalgic realm of someone else’s personal history.
The raw and grainy quality of the footage, dating back over 16 years, enhances the film’s authenticity and nostalgic charm. The experimental nature of the film turns a seemingly random assortment of home videos into a compelling narrative, creating a sense of connection with the past and an appreciation for the shared human experience across generations.
Of these 354 videos, ranging from 2008 to 2012, I extrapolated some moments which I then edited to my liking, recreating a timeless story of a life that never existed.
