00:00Hello everyone, I am Camilla Morino and I am the director of the documentary Il mondo fuori, la vita e i luoghi di Giovanni Gastel.
00:09In this work I tried to tell the complex figure of Giovanni Gastel, who was a famous Milanese fashion photographer.
00:18He did not like labels so much, but he is remembered above all for the incredible success he achieved within this specific field.
00:26Studying his path and his figure, I discovered that he was an incredibly polyhedric artist
00:34and above all that even on a human level he was made up of many different facets.
00:39And so I decided to tell it using a mixture of very different languages.
00:45So in the film you will find a lot of archive material, a part in animation,
00:53a very clean fixed camera and a much dirtier camera to look for contact with the interviewees.
01:00In this film, in reality, the desire was not to tell him as a photographer, but to tell him as a human being.
01:09And so to do this, I decided to meet some of the people closest to him, both from a personal point of view and from a professional point of view.
01:19Che Cosa è Nato?
01:20It was born an attempt to answer this question that perhaps we all have been asking ourselves for a long time,
01:27that is, what is left of us when we are no longer there?
01:31Because I met the figure of Giovanni when he was no longer alive
01:35and so my search to make this documentary was to meet and cross the traces that he left in the world
01:47or, as he would say, in the outside world.
01:52I thank you very much for the opportunity of the Festival Visioni del Mondo and I wish you a good viewing.
