Giovanni Cioni

“Giovanni Cioni is a filmmaker of lost references. Far from habits, his camera becomes an explorer, transforming the environment he passes through into an unknown territory. His gaze disrupts the codes of the documentary. It mixes the tracks of reality and fiction. He elaborates new spaces, new temporalities, from which emerge humans that seem to arise from an impalpable elsewhere. In his approach, the eye builds a reality, captures the world without certainties. His unique imprint is made of the mark of a man in search, and of the look of a great filmmaker.”
