Khalid represents the impossible attempt of the contemporary documentary. |
As authors on the field we have two choices to make: not interfering with the subject and trying to steal images, then repurposing them in editing, or work on a creative level while shooting. Khalid ha rappresentato la necessità di questa seconda scelta, al momento in cui il protagonista, un operaio marocchino di 30 anni, impegnato in una cantina sociale della periferia bolognese, ha deciso di non volere più essere il protagonista, mettendo in campo Khalid represents the necessity of this second choice, when the protagonist, a 30-year-old Moroccan worker, working in a social canteen outside Bologna, chooses not to be the protagonist any longer, presenting his fears of security and legality. From this moment, an actor is cast, which was not planned, who has to recite a text inside an empty theatre. This text talks about cinema, and its new soul, when it dies, and when it is reborn as a new hybrid and instable experiment, in a moment of tragic and amazing transformation of the media society.
