Lorenza Mazzetti - in the World of Silence
This documentary shows the extraordinary life of Lorenza Mazzetti, an artist who moved to London in the early 50s, in order to escape from her post-war trauma. In August 1944 she witnessed the slaughter of her adoptive family by the nazis. In London she founded Free Cinema movement together with Lindsay Anderson, Tony Richardson and Kareil Reisz. In March 2001 she returned to London, more than 40 years later, on the invitation of the British film Institute to organize a Free Cinema retrospective. In this occasion, she passed through the places of her artistic development when, as a young student in the Slade School of Fine Arts, she gave vent to her rage of survivor in the films Together and Metamorphosis. The documentary also describes the meeting with some of Free Cinema's protagonists like Karel Reisz and Walter Lassally. The film is a portrait of a woman, who devoted her life and art to the unsuppresible need of witnessing, by telling the world not to forget.
