New Faustian World (2018)

Bologna, 2018. In a resigned world where the human fate seems to be returned outside of their chances, Raffaele Quattrone tells, walking among the streets of the city, the artistic practice of 17 international artists with a Faustian Factor: a strong and recognizable artistic identity and an exasperated virtuosity that allows them to be in rivalry with the endless possibilities of the computer, with the precision of the photograph, with the reactions and relationships of video and performance. NewFaustianWorld is the world of these painters that as the Faust of Goethe, emblem of the modern man, have an inner tension with which they don't be satisfied with ordinariness but let the extraordinary be their philosophy of life taking up the challenges ahead of them. The visual language of the film, halfway between documentary and fiction, pays homage to the personality of each artist recreating in the single scenes the world that we find in the artworks of these artists. It is similar to enter the work, the creative world of the artist.
