Light_Earth_Blue_Silver | dual film by Roberto Opalio, soundtrack by MCIAA. 2008 / 37 minutes / 4:3 / color / stereo
The film was shot in 8mm cassette in January 2005 in a remote location of Italy's western Alps. A first version, with different editing, was screened in April 2005 at The Sage Gateshead, Newcastle (UK) during a My Cat Is An Alien's live performance. The final editing was made in 2008, adding an original soundtrack by My Cat Is An Alien. This version has been published in a CD/DVD set in 2009 by American label Atavistic and presented at Netwerk Center for Contemporary Art in Aalst (Belgium) in March 2009, and at NETMAGE.10 International Live-Media Festival in Bologna (Italy), January 22, 2010.
For the film Roberto Opalio made a two-meter-tall alien
figure in iron wire, one of the main features inhabiting his own artistic
imaginary, and symbol of the transfiguration of the existential vision
of the last human being on Earth. The Alien is the character of Light_Earth_Blue_Silver.
This film shows the Alien's physical and existential voyage along a mountain
track, where snow, rocks, white birches and pinetrees mark out its way
to heaven. As all Opalio's works, the film has multiple levels of interpretation.
The film is available through ATAVISTIC WORLDWIDE in the CD/DVD set MY CAT IS AN ALIEN & ENOTRE ZAFFIRI 'Thorugh the Magnifying Glass of Tomorrow'
