Biography
It takes courage to hold a camera as Cecilia Mangini has done so throughout her life. Firstly, because she began her career as a photographer, in a male-dominated industry, later becoming the first woman to direct documentaries in post-war Italy. And secondly, for the deep, ingenious, magnetic and combative vision she has of the world around her. A militant sharpness that she keeps to this day, at the age of 93, a mythical filmmaker who would refuse to be described as such. This sessions are structured in three segments to take us around her cinema (besides being a photographer and filmmaker, Mangini has also been a scriptwriter and writer) opening a door to a universe in which militant concerns (about the situation of women, about marginalised Italy, about the ways of life left behind by industrialisation) merge with a very original and powerful conception of cinema. Both of which enable her work to remain as energetic and future-oriented today as it did 60 years ago.
