These days I am following the Biografilm in Bologna, are accredited and this allows me to see two or three films a day without pay. The films I've seen these days are for the most part on the world revolves around Warhol's factory, the new york 60.70 years, drugs, people who went underground environments. I was not always satisfied with the quality of the documentaries, often constructed on the basis of anecdotal tales of misfits known or unknown at that time spent their time getting high - then even the memories are short and distorted, and glittering with reflected light from Warhol. Without him (that is, as happens most years' later) they will all die, and those alive will live in a degrading, unable to fend for themselves.
stories are often idealized, not at all critical and nostalgic. Leaving aside for a moment the speech Factory, I was pleasantly surprised by the documentary filmed between 67-68 from peter whitehead "the fall" that shows images of American society of those years with all its problems and contradictions, the struggle for civil rights to those against objections to the war in vietnam group of students.
I wonder what I would do in a situation prolific, almost like a tabula rasa where the common desire is to change the established order, the arts generations together, pop, punk and beat. What would happen?
Then I tell myself that I do not really matter so much, that I care about the future 'that the past and the past I need to understand precisely what will happen or what happens. I do not like nostalgia.
