Eight

Sandra Ignagni / Canada, France & Italy / 2024 / World Premiere / 21 min

Beautiful hand-developed analogue film from Corsica, where the eight winds of the Mediterranean are the ephemeral subject of an historical investigation.

A filmmaker searches for the eight winds of the Mediterranean on the island of Corsica. Using found footage and hand-processed footage on analogue 16mm film that attempts to expose the ethereal nature of the wind, Sandra Ignagni takes us to abandoned churches, cemeteries and ravaged beaches in her quest to find meaning in what is invisible and has no origin or end. You don’t always find what you are looking for, but the fleeting winds lead her in the direction of Corsica’s unique history of rebellion and resistance – a history that the islanders proudly carry on today.
