Born in Turin in 1978, twins Gianluca and Massimiliano De Serio have been collaborating since 1999, creating films, documentaries, and installations. Over the years, their work has been featured in national and international film festivals and exhibitions, earning numerous awards and recognitions. The protagonists of the De Serios’ works are uprooted identities, struggling with a continuous redefinition of the self, or collective identities that are unseen and interstitial, navigating a hybrid journey between mise-en-scène, memory, and performance. Filmmaking thus becomes a way to communicate and emerge from invisibility. In addition to film, they have devoted themselves to theater and created several video-art installations exhibited in museums and art galleries. Several retrospectives have been dedicated to their cinema at film festivals and art institutions.
A poetic journey into a hidden Italy, far from dominant narratives. _Canone effimero_ explores cultural resistance at work among makers of ancient instruments, polyphonic choirs, and traditions passed down from generation to generation. Through eleven musical chapters, the De Serio brothers compose a mosaic of memories, voices, and landscapes, refocusing attention on marginalized rural cultures.
