In collaboration with Costruttori di Immagine.
How and why are new objects created? What place
does craftsmanship and design have in a digital and global economy? materia
originates from the desire to tell the process of creation, from the conception
to the realization of objects and their importance in society.
The documentary
sets out to discover laboratories, shops and artistic studios in the city of
Rome, underlining the importance of these activities in the urban space.
Silver,
ceramic, formica, stones, bronze, paper and more are the materials that are
molded to give shape to ideas. Where does the inspiration come from, how does a
project develop, what are the difficulties encountered along the way? Through
the stories of various characters who explain how all these issues are
addressed, we set off on a journey into creativity.
