60 metres for 31 March (8mm, b/w, 1968) is a film by Massimo Bacigalupo shot and entirely edited in camera on one day in the spring of 1968. The story is divided into six episodes following the structure of the Katha Upanishad, an Indian text in which the young Nakiketa converses with death. Each part describes an event and refers to a literary and a pictorial source. We move from a room, to a garden, to water; we visit a girl, create stories and contemplate a young couple until darkness falls. "Sixty metres for 31 March" takes its inspiration from Brakhage's "Songs". Massimo Bacigalupo talks about using the camera as something agile, like a pen with which one could write the image. In fact, this film, shot on 8mm, is a happening that goes against an idea of cinema that is too congealed by using technical expedients to produce a flicker of light that alternates with the images.
