Zen sul ghiaccio sottile
\nby Margherita Ferri
\nwith Eleonora Conti, Susanna Acchiardi, Fabrizia Sacchi
\n(Italy, 90\u2019)<\/p>\n
In a small village on top of the mountains, Maia Zenasi, a rowdy and solitary 16-year-old tomboy, is the only girl on the local hockey team and her life, on and off the ice-rink, is tough. When Vanessa, the beautiful and dazed girlfriend of the team captain, runs away from home and hide in Maia\u2019s family lodge, Maia opens up for the first time someone of her peers: the days they spend together will lead them to break away from the roles that the community forced them to play.<\/p>\n
Director\u2019s statement
\nZen sul ghiaccio sottile is a coming of age film that follows the self-exploration journey of Maia (aka Zen), a teenager in search of her identity while struggling with the bullying from her peers. The desire to bring characters that live on the margins of their community to the centre of the storytelling is at the core of my vision as a director. The film tells about the oppression that gender roles and heteronormativity put on our society and the struggles that those who don\u2019t conform have to fight. In the film, Maia\u2019s journey is depicted with lyrical images, juxtaposing her emotions with the stunning, but often forgotten, natural landscape of the Apennines. I am interested in exploring the relationship between \u201cthe production of landscape\u201d and the identity of the communities who live in suburban areas. For this reason, I worked on the concept of \u201cemotional landscape\u201d: an artistic tool to visually engage the audience into the inner dimension of the character.<\/p>\n
