Was ist heute noch von der Lektion Pasolinis geblieben? Um eine Antwort auf diese Frage zu finden, hat der italienische Fernsehsender TELE+ einigen jungen Regisseuren die Aufgabe gestellt, mit Bildern etwas über einen Künstler auszusagen, der zu ihnen fast schon zwei Generationen Abstand hat. Daraus entstanden 6 Kurzfilme mit einer Spieldauer zwischen 3 und 60 Minuten.
Etwas aus Pasolini zu machen, nicht etwas über Pasolini zu machen, das war der gemeinsame Ausgangspunkt für diese Regisseure, die in einer anderen Zeit leben als der Meister, aber gleichwohl von seiner Lektion geprägt sind.
Das Programm enthält drei Beispiele aus dieser Serie: 'Essere morti o essere vivi è la stessa cosa', einen kurzen Animationsfilm von Gianluigi Toccafondo;
'Arruso' von Cipri & Maresco, Erinnerungen an Pasolinis Sizilien-Besuch, ein Film voller skuriller Einfälle, und 'La rabbia' von Davide Ferrario, eine heutige Antwort auf Pasolinis berühmten Montagefilm.		 A series of films on Italian television
What remains today of Pasolini’s lessons? In order to search for and find an answer to this question, TELE+ set a number of young directors the difficult task of expressing in pictures something about an artist who is almost two generations their senior.
Bruno Bigoni, Davide Ferrario, Guido Chiesa, Daniele Vicari, Gianluigi Toccafondo, Daniele Ciprì and Franco Maresco subsequently made six short films ranging in length from three to sixty minutes. Making something of Pasolini, not about Pasolini. That was the joint starting point for these directors who live in a different era than the master, yet are still influenced by his lessons.
The series contains the following productions: Comizi d’amore by Bruno Bigoni; Provini per un massacro by Guido Chiesa; 'La rabbia' by Davide Ferrario ; 'Essere morti o essere vivi è la stessa cosa' by Gianluigi Toccafondo; Morte che parla by Daniele Vicari; 'Arruso' by Daniele Ciprì and Franco Maresco
