About This Movie

Electric Fragments No. 1 - Rom (Uomini) is a fascinating glimpse into a past era. Shot on 8mm, it captures a Rom family's journey through Italy in the '40s, their life unfolding in a horse-drawn wagon. The atmosphere is intimate, almost like peering through a window into their world. It's not frenetic; instead, the pacing is languid, allowing you to take in the nuances, the simple joys and struggles of their existence. The practical effects are of course inherent to the medium, giving it a grainy authenticity that feels quite personal. There’s something beautiful yet melancholic about the depiction of their migration, a delicate balance of resilience and vulnerability. It feels like a time capsule, a piece of history that resonates on a more human level.
