SILENT WOMEN
Una raccolta di poesie in Terza Rima, che dà voce a 21 registe del cinema muto, è diventata un Podcast!
Scritto e narrato da Chiara Spagnoli Gabardi
Sound editing di Massimo Privitera (Musicologo, Fondatore e Direttore della rivista Colonne Sonore)
Per molti decenni le prime registe della storia sono state avvolte nell’oblio. Ultimamente la loro arte visiva è stata riportata alla luce, ma cosa accadrebbe se alcune delle loro vetuste registrazioni audio venissero ritrovate? Cosa racconterebbe ciascuna, della propria vita e del proprio lavoro?
L'intento di questa raccolta di poesie è quello di dare voce ad alcune cineaste dell'epoca del muto, 21 come il nostro secolo, e di suscitare la curiosità degli ascoltatori per scoprire di più sul loro conto. Ogni poesia in lingua inglese, scritta in terza rima, è introdotta dalla musica di una compositrice dello stesso paese della regista, la quale avrebbe potuto ascoltarla mentre era al lavoro.

La poesia consente di sfruttare il potere della narrazione fondendo l'uso dell’esposizione, del ritmo, delle allegorie, delle immagini e delle emozioni. Il mio punto di svolta nello scrivere in versi è stato quando ho scritto 'St. Dwynwen’s Hiraeth.’ Ho usato la terza rima e la prima persona per evocare la storia della santa gallese, patrona degli innamorati, e la mia registrazione della poesia è stata riprodotta nei boschi di Aberlleiniog. Poiché la mia professione e passione confluisce nel cinema, ripercorrere il mestiere e le sfide delle cineaste dell'epoca del muto è avvenuto spontaneamente. Con la raccolta di poesie ‘Silent Women’ ho cercato di coprire tutti i continenti, attraverso un numero emblematico di registe. Quando ho deciso di trasformare questi scritti in un podcast ho avuto il desiderio di far luce ulteriormente sul talento femminile di quel tempo, e mi è venuta l'idea di abbinare ad ogni soliloquio la musica di una compositrice della stessa epoca e paese della regista. L'intento era quello di trasmettere l'atmosfera del periodo, esaltandone la percezione uditiva. Per questo sono profondamente grata a Massimo Privitera, che ha inserito suoni legati alla narrazione e ha ulteriormente donato un effetto vintage a ogni flusso di coscienza, quasi come se una vecchia registrazione abbandonata di ciascuna Silent Woman fosse stata dissepolta da un mucchio di vecchie scatole e condivisa con il mondo.

ENGLISH VERSION:
SILENT WOMEN
A Collection of Poems in Terza Rima, that gives a voice to 21 female filmmakers of the silent era, is now a Podcast!
Written and recited by Chiara Spagnoli Gabardi
Sound editing by Massimo Privitera
(Musicologist and Founding Director of Colonne Sonore magazine)
For many decades women cinéastes were swept into oblivion. At long last their visual artistry has been brought back to the light, but what would happen if some of their tattered audio recordings were found? What would each one tell us about her life and work?
The intent of this collection of poems is to give a voice to some female filmmakers of the silent era, 21 like our current century, and to trigger in listeners the desire to find more about them. Each terza rima poem is introduced with music by a female composer of the same country of the filmmaker, who might have listened to her while at work.

Poetry allows to harness the power of storytelling blending the use of narrative, rhythm, allegories, imageries and emotions. My turning point writing in verse was when I wrote ‘St. Dwynwen’s Hiraeth.’ I used terza rima and the first person to evoke the story of the Welsh patron saint of lovers, and my recording of the poem was played throughout the woodlands of Aberlleiniog. As someone whose profession and passion revolves around cinema, retracing the craft and challenges of female filmmakers of the silent era occurred spontaneously. With the collection of poems ‘Silent Women’ I tried to cover all continents, through an emblematic number of female directors. When I decided to transform these writings in a podcast I had the desire to shine further light on women’s talents of that time, and I came up with the idea of pairing each soliloquy with music by a female composer of the same epoch and country of the filmmaker. The intent was to convey the atmosphere of the period, enhancing the auditory perception. For this, I’m exceptionally grateful to Massimo Privitera, who sprinkled sounds that evoked the narration and gave a vintage effect to each stream of consciousness, almost as if a derelict recording of each Silent Woman had been unearthed from a pile of old boxes and finally shared with the world.
