摘要

Alina Marazzi is a documentary, fiction film, and theatre director, recognized as one of the most innovative among the new generation of documentary filmmakers in Italy. Her award-winning films have been presented at international film festivals. Her work has been discussed in scholarly publications about women’s cinema, documentary filmmaking, and trauma in film. Her main body of work focuses on female subjectivity, motherhood, and memory. In her most celebrated films Un’ora sola ti vorrei (For one more hour with you, 2002), Vogliamo anche le rose—We want roses too (2007), Anna Piaggi, una visionaria nella moda (Anna Piaggi, a visionary in fashion, 2016), Marazzi brings together archival footage of various types and from various sources, including home movies, collectors’ photographs, personal diaries and letters, TV broadcast material, to retrieve the stories and the images of women erased or kept at the margin of Italy’s history as well as documentary filmmaking. This chapter examines the above mentioned found-footage films by Marazzi as instances of the filmmaker’s feminist/experimental approach to found-footage aesthetic, adopting the first-person camera technique as a challenge to dominant narratives and ideologies.
