Angela's Diaries. Two Filmmakers.9/2/20182h 5m 8.0Every day of her life, Angela kept a diary, filled with words and drawings, in which she recorded public and private matters, meetings, things she had read, everything. Including the account of two trips to Russia (1989-90). The period of the collapse of the USSR. A diary that she had been keeping in small Chinese notebooks, since before Dal Polo all’Equatore (1986), on our uninterrupted work on the violence of the 20th century.

Angela's Diaries. Two Filmmakers. Chapter Two9/2/20191h 40m 0.0I felt an urgent need to continue with I diari di Angela - Noi due cineasti. Capitolo secondo, for me a world of symbols and colors.

I thought for a long time about how to make use again of her words, her drawings and her silences. Angela and I filmed and wrote two parallel diaries.

Angela's Diaries. Two Filmmakers. Chapter Three9/2/20252h 3m 0.0This new instalment of Angela's Diaries concludes the trilogy dedicated to the late Angela Ricci Lucchi, with whom Yervant Gianikian made all his films, which recount man's violence against nature, animals and humanity itself. Lucrezia Lerro sensitively reads Angela's diary about her illness, giving voice to her intimate writing and to the dense poetics of the painful passages that seem to be paced at the rate of her heartbeats, word after word, as she desperately tries to overcome her illness. Themes include the war, Angela's political work and the promise made to her to continue working.
