GASLIGHT

Italy, 2024
Director: Stellario di Blasi
Duration: 4’14

The short film outlines a universe of dreamlike images that invite us to unravel an intricate tangle of identities forced into a binary and moralistic social structure. Contemporaneity is a hallucination, a mirage, a subtle mental manipulation: an anthropological and cultural gaslighting that reveals itself like a luxury brand on sale, available on shopping mall shelves. This film, therefore, distills a stance towards minorities and differences: a perpetual struggle to avoid the solidification of a fixed pattern and leave open the infinite options of a reality.
