Big screen and little screen, frame and field, mechanics and electronics, photographic emulsion and pixel. Putting together lots of fragments, clips and segments of the relationship between cinema and television in search of a fluid modulation and a narrative progression.
From Lascia o raddoppia to Guglielmo il dentone, from Totò to Comencini’s Pinocchio, from Magnani to Moretti, this documentary intertwines the 24 frames a second of the movie with the 25 of the TV broadcast in a nimble and ironic spiral.
A learned and light-hearted journey that offers an overview of this mutual give-and-take with abundant archive material from the Rai Teche and two distinguished talking heads: the Oscar-winning director Giuseppe Tornatore and the journalist and writer Corrado Augias.
