Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
LA CONTROFIGURA
Synopsis
A crew is going around Marrakech looking for swimming pools as locations for the remake of an American movie in which a man crosses a county, pool by pool, to reach his home. Corrado, the ‘stand-in’, runs barefoot across the city, trying to find the path of pools the actor will swim through.

Our take
Traversing ochre Moroccan landscapes one swimming pool after another, artist-filmmaker Rä di Martino creates an aqueous mosaic that tells stories of wealth, tourism, and cinema. The Swimmer, a beloved movie starring Burt Lancaster, is refracted among these turquoise waters in a beguiling homage.
