EneceFilm

Enece (pronunciation: /’enetʃe) is a word in Apulian dialect, indicating a marble egg farmers used to put in the henhouse to stimulate hens to lay eggs. Since 2012 it has also been the name of a Milan collective whose initiatives include filmmaking, installations, performances, and working within the interstices of documentary films, fiction, and experimentation.

In this masterclass, some members of the collective will present excerpts from their ten-year production and will show their own production practice, explaining what sharing studio spaces, projects, and professionalism involves, creating a collective authorship.

ENECEfilm produces on its own and, just like the egg in the henhouse, supports authors from outside the collective, not by investing money, but making their skills available to them. The over 20 titles they produced range from reflections on work – such as UPM – Unità di Produzione Musicale (2015), which was featured at WTFF1 – to ethnographic documentary films on the relationship between man and nature – such as La distanza (2021), winner of the Laceno d’oro 46 and competing at this edition of WTFF – from sexuality to stories of life and social marginality – such as Yvonnes (2017), awarded as the most innovative medium-length film at Visions du réel – up to “expanded” projects such as Enzo sono Lina, an archive of magnetic tapes and answering machines.
