Where Does The Night Go (Hugo Races & Gianni Maroccolo)
(Italy, 2025, 6’13)
We all knew the situation was dire, the planets aligned overhead like a firing squad, and this empty silence pervading our town, cut off from the other mountain villages by a power outage. Without power, there was no way to know what was happening elsewhere. Only morning could bring a sign of resolution, however fragile it might be. Hugo Race
