For the Images in an instant. Cinema and photography showcase, screening of the film "One Hour Photo" by Mark Romanek.

For this showcase, born for the occasion of the exhibitions dedicated to the winning projects of the OUT OF FOCUS call – starting with ART OF DECAY by Andrea Meloni, and now ICONS by Vittoria Ghiotto, at the showcasing venue in the Mario Gromo Library/Mediatheque until 6 April 2018 – the Library/Mediatheque is organising a series of monthly screenings dedicated to the relationship between cinema and photography, exploring the continuous and successful symbiosis staged by such languages with well and not so well-known films. The film selected for the audience for the month of April is One Hour Photo by Mark Romanek.

All screenings are admission free until full seating capacity is reached, subject to free membership registration to the Library/Mediatheque and presenting an identity document.

One Hour Photo

(USA, 2002, 106’, col.)

Seymour Parrish is a technician in a photograph development and print laboratory within a shopping mall. Shy and reserved, he leads a solitary and discreet existence. Obsessed by his work, he starts imagining he is part of the Yorkin family, customary clients at his laboratory, and begins duplicating their photos in order to keep them in his home. As time passes, the morbid relationship he feels for the Yorkins degenerates into a spiral of madness.

With Robin Williams, Connie Nielsen, Michael Vartan, Dylan Smith
