Read MoreBiografilm Festival rende omaggio al politico, filosofo e matematico colombiano Antanas Mockus con la proiezione di Nijole di Sandro Bozzolo, in anteprima italiana, film sull'artista lituana Nijole Sivickas che ha ispirato l’azione artistico-politica di suo figlio Antanas Mockus, e il film Life Is Sacred di Andreas M.

La inimitable trayectoria de Antanas Mockus, ex-candidato a la presidencia de Colombia, habría sido imposible sin los consejos visionarios de su madre, la artista nonagenaria Nijole Sivicka. Juntos se embarcan en un viaje íntimo de descubrimiento mutuo y nos dan una lección vital llena de coraje y vulnerabilidad.
Dicen que las mejores ideas salen de mezclas insólitas, a veces desconcertantes. La creatividad también podría ser una cuestión de transmisión familiar. El director italiano Sandro Bozzolo construye un cóctel inclasificable e inspirador que nos adentra hacia un viaje íntimo a las profundidades de sus vidas. Del presente marcado por la fragilidad de sus cuerpos, a las raíces lituanas que Nijole tuvo que dejar atrás, descubrimos dos historias vitales extraordinarias.”
