FELLINI G. MASTORNA Frantz K., Casanova and HAL meet each other in the cinematographic universe of Fellini G. Mastorna. A never completed film. Black and white, colors with all their shades (magical potion), local figures, sets too small, a frantic multiplication of snapshot shooting before/after, but never during. The curse that hit Fellini when he launched out into the production of his big mystery film The Voyage of G. Mastorna. Sets built but never filmed. Pieces of this big whale in the whole work to come (after the void, he comes to life again with an adaptation of one of Poe's book Toby Dammit, blazing credits before a new creative era). Black light, occultism (damned), a 100% artificial light inquiry of someone who was completely doused into Fellini. It's a failure of a film all the way long. What did I search trying to approach Fellini's never produced damned film (each great director has got his Mastorna) ? A limit? A drowning ? ... To recreate all the early beginnings, to give a shape to all my research, my intentions... a chaotic ceremonial for something that will not and doesn't exist anymore. |

FELLINI G. MASTORNA Jeder Filmemacher hat seinen verhexten Film. Eine Reise, die so aussergewöhnlich ist, dass es unmöglich wird, sie zu Ende zu führen. Fellini nannte seine Die Reise die G. Mastorna. Aus jenem auf einem Flughafen-Koffer erblickten Namen entstand ein Jenseits, das unseren Maestro K.O. schlug. Unser Split-Screen phantasiert sich in den Kopf von Federico, vor, während und nach diesem Kampf. Es ist eine Untersuching aus 100% Kunstlicht, aufgenommen im Studio; die hektische Ansammlung von Drehaufnahmen, indiskreten Archiven… Original title : Fellini G.
