Leaving Home, 2'30” Alessio Rutigliano, Italy, 2012 Leaving Home deals with migration. The act of migration escapes from representation: initiatic journey connecting African stowaways, their long odyssey at sea, and the Italian "diaspora", the biggest mass migration of contemporary time. Because of its mythopoietic nature it can be only evoked by a series of ritualistic gestures, vanishing memories imprinted on film, where "moving images" stand for "escape" rather than "representation". mailto: alex.cmp@libero.it  : alex.cmp@libero.it Biography Filmmaker and sound artist, Alessio Rutigliano was born in Italy in 1988. His works range from experimental music to non narrative cinema. Under the influence of the Italian master Tretti, Rutigliano's cinema feels the need to start over, hence the use of black and white, out of sync, and techniques like rubbing and brushing borrowed from Bacon's paintings: a cinema of sensation, following the indices of deterritorialization rather than reterritorialization in the Deleuzian sense. Lately finished his last work ASC for “Spot” by Pierluca Cetera (54 Venice Biennale, Apulia Pavillon) he is working now to the shooting of Oedipus trash, narrative film combining psychoanalysis, satire and Deleuzian theories.
