In this episode of DANCE CINEMA we speak to Laura Cappellesso, editor of dance film MARMO, shot in Tuscany and inspired by the vision of Italian sculptor Michelangelo Buonarroti.

Envisioned and directed by Nancy Allison and with choreography of Laura Boato, MARMO contemplates the emergence of a work of art out of a raw material such as a block of stone, or in the case of a film, out of many hours of film rushes each having a numberless creative paths one could follow.


In this podcast, MARMO’s editor Laura Cappellesso takes us through the journey of making the film as we consider the similarity between sculpting and editing and the idea of ‘setting the work of art free’.



Laura also speaks about her approach to to haptic visuality and why she felt it necessary to emphasise polarities between matter and spirit - solidity of marble and fluidity of moving bodies.

MARMO will be screened on www.dancecinema.org from 15.8. to 15.9. 2019. To view MARMO and for the full transcript of this interview head to www.dancecinema.org/marmo.html
