Somewhere Else is a documentary/experimental film about freedom and our capability to see, about flights of birds and hierophanies of ancient statues eaten away by time: a visual poem attempting to capture life as a flux where dream and reality constantly interpenetrate and merge into one another.
Cesare Bedogné is an Italian photographer, film-maker and writer. His first, autobiographical novel and his black and white photographs were at the basis of the film Story for an Empty Theatre, which he co-directed with the Russian film-maker Aleksandr Balagura. He later directed the experimental/documentary short films Maria's Silence, The Last Step of an Acrobat, Photographing New York, Lost Images and Eight of Wands. All these films won numerous awards internationally and have been screened in prestigious film festivals such as Art Visuals&Poetry in Vienna, the International Film Festival of Salerno, L'Europe autour de l'Europe Film Festival in Paris, the Montecatini International Short Film Festival in Italy, the Cinemistica Film Festival in Spain, AMIIWorkFest in Vilnius and many others. He recently compiled a new feature entitled Somewhere Else.
