Fiamma Santissima, Mistero Profondo

Fiamma Santissima, Mistero Profondo (Holy Flame, Deep Mystery) is the result of SANTA artistic residency organized by Futuro Arcaico and the Naka Eps association, which took place in April 2022 during Holy Week in Noicattaro (Bari).

The film interprets, through the documentation collected, the suggestive and gothic nature of the religious event, becoming in turn a fetish of human contradiction. Through a path that begins in the twilight, under the light of the full moon of spring, the anonymous sinner immerses himself in the darkness of the night together with the faith- ful, and on the edge of the abyss he asks for salvation from the purifying flames of hell.

Finally the night comes to an end and sinners, faithful, priests and all the Mysteries, stroll with an undulatory rhythm in the light of the new day, purified in soul but not in intentions.
