nchiesta di famiglia (2013) is a film by Luca Ferro. The excerpt offered here provides an example of the issue underlined by Ferro in the interview: addressing relatives, asking them to tell the story of family members who are no longer alive, brings out conflicting visions and memories, feeding doubts about truthfulness. In this investigation into the history of his own ancestors, Luca Ferro includes the reaction his sons had when confronted with the story of their distant relatives. The stories of our ancestors, in their infinite singularity, almost always end up resembling each other: recovering them, or perhaps more likely, providing ourselves with a largely imaginary reconstruction can enlighten posterity, present and future, on the meaning of their lives, but above all give a plausible justification to our existence. The stylistic figure, necessarily and deliberately a-professional, fits into the logic and poetics of Luca Ferro's Private Cinema.
