Pompei – Eternal Emotion

Transmitting screen emotions of those who visit Pompeii for the first time is a difficult task. In Pompeii the time has stopped and in a moment it seems to go back in time two thousand years. The director Pappi Corsicato seems to have succeeded. His work is called “Pompeii, eternal emotion”, a short film produced by Scabec – Company Cultural Heritage – on behalf of the Region, and that is being presented at the Turin Film Festival in the section Waves 2015. “Pompeii, eternal emotion” was created as a promotional video, but has now revealed a small masterpiece, with the strength of a poetic and artistic films in ten minutes is able to convey the excitement of a still image in history.

Tourists become the archaeological casts contemporaries, remain immobile, but by the flickering of the clothes, the wind in your hair, by a fluttering of eyelashes and a feeling that the static nature preserves the essence of life.
