Season 1

For many decades women cinéastes were swept into oblivion. At long last their visual artistry has been brought back to the light, but what would happen if some of their tattered audio recordings were found? What would each one tell us about her life and work?The intent of this collection of poems is to give a voice to some female filmmakers of the silent era, 21 like our current century, and to trigger in listeners the desire to find more about them.Each terza rima poem is introduced with music by a female composer of the same country of the filmmaker, who might have listened to her composition while at work.Written and recited by Chiara Spagnoli GabardiSound editing by Massimo Privitera (Musicologist, Founding Director of Colonne Sonore magazine, and longtime friend)
