Zapruder (I)
Zapruder filmmakersgroup was founded in 2000 by David Zamagni, Nadia Ranocchi and Monaldo Moretti. Zapruder’s work may be placed in the interstitial area between visual, performance and cinematographic arts to give form to what the group defines as “chamber cinema”, a sort of incarnated and tactile cinema, as well as a form of immaterial theatre. Zapruder’s production is characterized by an entirely hand-crafted approach in which research over means and language have a fundamental role and contributes to shaping a personal view and to making the vision apparatus match the performative environment.
Since 2005 the group has been exploring the possibilities of 3-D cinematic techniques through short films and installations. A considerable part of Zapruder’s work has taken place within the context of Italian experimental theatre (collaboration with Motus, Fanny & Alexander and Romeo Castellucci/Societas Raffaello Sanzio). Works by Zapruder Filmmakersgroup have been screened and have won awards at prestigious festivals, including Oberhausen Kurzfilmtage, Biennale de l'image en mouvement in Geneva, Graz Biennal on Media and Architecture, Transmediale in Berlin, TTV Performing Arts on Screen in Riccione, Kunstenfestival des Arts, Uovo Festival, Festival d'Avignon, Venice film festival and many others. The group is based/lives and works in Roncofreddo (Forlė-Cesena).
