My role:

"Do not Cross" is a five minutes stop motion animation film. This is my first project made for graduation at University of Civic School of Cinema Luchino Visconti. It has has been selected in severals festivals.

Logline:

It is easy to get lost in a contemporary art museum packed with thousands of works in a maze of rooms... But, where is the toilet? What can you do in these cases if not holding it back, squeezing your legs and letting yourself be lulled by the spasms that guide you in a sprawling dance? What better place to put aside all dignity and pass suffering as an authentic “performance"? Two minutes of glory and then, once the queue disperses, to hell with art, there is only one thing to do.
