Some mockumentaries are evidently fictional, others are more sophisticated and some others are so accurate and realistic that it would take Sherlock Holmes to disclose them. A well-done mockumentary is a spark of genius, a weird creep in reality revealing a parallel dimension, a place in which everything is possible. Thinking about it, mockumentaries are the comic answer to the age-old question: what is the reality?<\/p>\n

Apollo 11 \u00bd \u2013 Olaf Held
\nseen by Virginia Carolfi<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

The first manned moon landing represented a groundbreaking moment for the whole humanity, with huge political, social, economic and cultural consequences. However, the State of Wyoming experienced a more immediate and disturbing effect. This is the story of a secret (and most unexpected) NASA mission; if you’ve always smelt something fishy about the Apollo 11, this short will confirm your suspects. Appropriate footage from the ’60s and naive aesthetics make this film a pleasant cosmic divertissement<\/em> on the notes of Gustav Holst’s \u201cThe Planets\u201d.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]\n

The Christmas Light Killer \u2013 James P. Gannon
\nseen by Carlotta Magistris<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

A 2016 short movie by James P. Gammon, The Christmas Light Killer is the ultimate cinematographic example of what the mockumentary genre is: a fictional concept represented by a documentarist point of view where, thanks to fictional interviews and journalistic framings, the figure of a man whose job is to turn off Christmas lights at the end of the night is, with all the personal consequences towards his relationship with the festivity, defined and investigated. It’s hard to imagine this concept as a non-realistic one, because of his effectiveness in the direction work and in the conceptual point of view. Starting from the alleged experience of the protagonist, the short expresses an interesting standpoint about the contemporary society’s relationship with traditional festivities, often experienced as a social obligation and emptied of their original essence.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]\n

Maialetto della Nurra (Nurra’s Lil’ Pig) \u2013 Marco Antonio Pani
\nseen by Virginia Carolfi<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

What could be the reaction of a Sardinian piglet after an intense cinema session? A sweet and delirious short, a tribute to classic cinema and to the power of images, an ironic consideration on food adulteration and an unexpected parallel between Sardinia and the homeland of Concorto. Icing on the cake: the Sardinian language.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]\n

Voyage Spatial \u2013 Guillermo A. Chaia
\nseen by Carlotta Magistris<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

Voyage Spatial, a 2016 short movie by Guillermo A.Chaia, analyses in six minutes the life circle of a love story seen by the point of view of the male protagonist, represented as a sort of astronaut coming from another dimension. He reports the emotional dynamics and his own sensations in an aseptic way, defining the experience as a \u201cmission\u201d. On an aesthetically appreciable background, the paradox of this participant observation, based on analytical data \u2013 particularly interesting is the recurrent use of percentage to represent the good or bad emotional waves \u2013 contributes to building an effective love story, and the viewer finds on the screen a rather truthful and smart representation of emotional dynamics, at times disguised as cliches.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
