How to shoot flowers

During quarantine, the director has been invited to make a film about her lockdown experience. The result is a film about filmmaking and life as a creative act.Facing the challenge of making a film ()on her own, the director draws images from her memory —and archive—, to remind herself which way to move. This is why we see an old 8 mm film shot in San Peter (Rome, Italy) of her great-grandmother, and images from the Zapatist land in Chiapas (Mexico), where she lived.“How to shoot flowers” is a personal essay film, where artistic creation and expression, such as the stop-motion animation or the final liberating dance, become the medium to overcome a difficult time.
