A woman is filmed during her daily chores. She describes her life while stock footage shows the historic events in which she was involved: the war, deportation, Auschwitz, from which she survived. A classic documentary. Suddenly, this stops and another film takes shape, putting on screen the work of cinema on the mys- tery of storytelling. Arresting the interview mechanism, Oksman deals with the boundary between memory and imagination, fabulation and testimony.saturday, November 26th, La Compagnia, 4:30pmGILbERTO GIL, UN mINIsTRO EN DIRECTOdi|by Sergio Oksmanspagna, 2006, 50’Un ritratto di Gilberto Gil, nel periodo in cui ricoprì il ruolo di ministro della cul- tura nel governo Lula in Brasile.
