L'autoritratto

Director: Chiara Spagnoli Gabardi

Year: 2010

Plot: A young painter has to produce a self-portrait in order to apply to the Academy of Fine Arts. Having lived between Europe and Asia, she doesn't know how to define and portray her identity. In search of inspiration she confronts with four artists of different nationalities: French, Chinese, Japanese and English. The women, each with their own self-portrait, represent four stages of the painter's life: childhood, primary school, adolescence and youth. They all try to impose their own vision of life, through different anecdotes related to the artist's life. The young girl, initially confused, gradually understands she doesn't have to choose only one identity, but find a way to merge them all together. Only then she will be able to create her self-portrait, 'L'Autoritratto'.—Chiara Spagnoli
