Poems and Constructions

About This Movie

So, 'Poems and Constructions' is this fascinating piece that really captures the essence of Trastevere through these almost hypnotic stop frame sequences. Shot on a Bolex, there's this raw texture to the film - peeling walls, forgotten street signs, just a lot of urban decay that feels oddly poetic. The pacing is slow, meditative even, allowing you to really soak in each frame. You get these glimpses of life and art colliding; graffiti and posters tell their own stories. It’s not your typical narrative-driven film, but it does something distinctive with the medium, drawing you into a specific time and place without ever needing dialogue or a clear story.

This film exists in a bit of obscurity, which makes it rather intriguing for collectors. It has seen limited format releases, primarily in niche art film circles, and the scarcity of physical copies adds to its allure. Many collectors appreciate the unique craftsmanship and atmospheric qualities, making it a conversation starter in any collection that leans towards experimental cinema.
