AUTOMATIC CINEMA, SHORT FILM
Dionisiac Rock is casting for the non-union short film “Automatic Cinema” Director: Giacomo Gavotto. Job runs for 1 week starting July 5. Payment: Lo/no/ deferred. Apply to: Giacomo - jackgav8@hotmail.com. Synopsis: “Automatic Cinema” is inspired by original French surrealism. The narrative spine is based on a dream the author actually had. Several key visual elements and the way the story is structured (dream sequences) will hopefully allow the audience to approach the internal meaning of the piece on different levels. The main theme would be, in general terms, the lack of communication between the characters; more specifically it lays upon the relationship between a father, who comes back in town after many years, and his son (the lead character). A mother, a beautiful girl and a friend will contribute to increase the conflict between father and son, as the audience struggles to clarify what is going on. Death, dreams and reality are constantly questioned throughout the film, making the audience lose the perception of true time vs. dream time. Seeking: Lead character, male, 25-30 - Andre has very intense dreams that make him face the absence of his parents. He is a musician. He will understand during the movie the importance of having a father nearby. Actor should be able to access different emotions in order to convey the controversial realities he will find himself projected into. The father, male 50-60 - He's a sailor who realizes he needs to go back to his son and support him through his transition to adult life. He tries to rebuild communication with him, without getting any result. Male / 18-24 yrs. / Any Ethnicity (Others like this). Pino, male 18-24 - The lead character's friend. Even though he's too young to have known the 70's, his mind lives back in the post- punk era (British). He personifies the radical side of his friend's sense of independence and self- confidence. He will be rejected by his friend at the end. The mother, female 41-50 - She celebrates her own funeral during a dream sequence (sad expression, it's a close up). Very important, she will also act in the final scene telling Andre' the truth about his father.
