Ilaria Di Carlo
Sirens, 13:23 min, Color, Dolby SR, Germany, 2022
Monolithic power plants; billowing columns of smoke; the backdrop of a red sun. Shot entirely from helicopters, the film takes us on a journey through industrial wastelands, thus recalling the passage of Ulysses’ boat through the Sirens’ strait.
