The short film Con te o senza di te is the winner of “Cuori al buio”, a competition organized by Fondazione Cinema per Roma as part of the project promoted by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers' Department for Equal Opportunities aimed at preventing and halting violence against women. The video art and computer generated images by Gianluca Abbate and Virginia Eleuteri Serpieri, the voiceover by Pino Calabrese, and the text taken from news stories are all skilfully combined in this three-minute short directed by Angela Prudenzi to convey to viewers the perception of danger, the emotional dysfunctions and the indignation for the helpless victims in a sort of compressed, visionary puzzle made up of a fractured fairy tale, hallucinations, the fragility of innocence and the irreversibility of evil. The winning short was chosen over more than fifty entries, by a jury composed of Roberto Andò and Ida Dominijanni, chaired by Maria Pia Calzone.

Con te o senza di te will be screened on Thursday, October 25 at 9:30 pm at MAXXI Museum, before the film Womanity by Barbara Cupisti.
