THE INVISIBLE MIRROR is a true artistic film with many emotional layers. It’s a pleasure to chat with filmmaker Luigi Rizzo on the process on making this film. It all began with a walk with his wife in Italy and having an idea.

Played at the February 2021 Experimental Film Festival.

Summary of film: At night while something has happened in a house of an old lady, a young girl dresses to go to a party. Through the dance and the music, suddenly youth and age merge together in an ephemeral and dynamic moment, ultimately connected.
