Handy Hands
Handy Hands involved six locals, seven migrants and a cultural mediator in a four-day meeting of socialization and work that used the Italian language as a vehicle to the development and the shooting of this short film.
The series of encounters was held in a domestic space in order to foster the exchange and make it more fruitful and direct. Handy Hands plays with a polysemy of meanings. It can refer to ‘practical hands’, able to do almost anything.
The gestures, understood as small daily activities, bind us to the culture of the territory in which we live in. Besides, hands represent our identity and they have always been our instrument of contact and communication with the inhabitants and things of the world.
This video tells stories, actions and daily relationships, voluntary movements or involuntary tics, leisure or work activities. The grazing light almost completely eliminates the colors of the skin to underline the universality of non-verbal communication. In the video you will not find captions that explain the gestures presented, whose reading is left to the free interpretation of the viewer.
