We seized the opportunity to see his previous short films; you know our love for contemporary Italian short films… (#<\/span>ItalyInShort!<\/span><\/a>) \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n

Sofia (2008, 15 min.)<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"SofiaThrough the eyes of Clara, a girl of thirteen years old, we discover the world of Sofia, her little sister. Sofia does not speak. She uses objects as an extension of her body and through their sounds creates her own language. The silence of Sofia is violently imposed on the whole family, but it is Clara, with a single gesture, which reveals an unbearable malaise: the absence of a word that sums up this too painful reality. Two different worlds that confront each other, so close that they will never touch each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sofia<\/span><\/i>, Carlo Sironi\u2019s first short film, nominated in several festivals, tells a story in fact rather banal. The focus of the film seems to be the life and boredom of this young teenager. Yet, we are captivated from the beginning to the end; no wonder Carlo Sironi won the Best Director Award at the Capri Hollywood International Film Festival. We recognize the work of the director by the economy of the dialogues and by his interest, already present at the time, for the representation of loneliness. The end, however, left me slightly on my hunger…<\/span><\/p>\n
