Maria Lai: ansia d’infinito

Written and directed by Clarita di Giovanni

With Maria Lai

Produced by Studio SGR Roma

SYNOPSIS
Lai is one of the most important and long-living contemporary artist of our times. After the Academic years inVenice she went to Rome beginning her course with a long series of exhibition and performances all around Italy. During the last years, in search of a place of her artistic researches, she came back to her own heritage, based in Ulassai, Sardinia, where she was born in1919. In 2009 she is 90 years old. This film talks – not in chronological neither biographical way – about her astonishing artistic travel and up to time thought. Talking about her need of silence conducted us to an experimental research into a coherent aesthetical-narrative language.
