Documentaries that talk about designers and creatives, telling their stories, letting us step into their lives with a crafting and storytelling that have always distinguished C41: an independent magazine and a creative agency based in Milan and Amsterdam that has always known how to dialogue with design brands and talents with extraordinary creativity. The videos will be presented in the on demand section of Fuorisalone.it

aboutCAMBIO – Formafantasma

aboutCAMBIO is a backstage documentary by Leone and Vittoria Elena Simone going behind the scenes of the latest Formafantasma’s project. The frames show the duo exploring the devastated land of Val di Fiemme – yet finding some beauty in the disaster’s rests. That could be considered the starting point of their whole experimental investigation, which literally took its raw material from the place we see. The film underlines the spontaneous attitude of Formafantasma towards their surroundings, and addresses awareness around the consequences of human impact on the natural world. In this sense, the mission of ‘Cambio’ is to expand the understanding of what design can be, beyond the finished object, in order to include also its disciplinary boundaries: forestry techniques and timber legislations become tools for shaping a better future for the environment and for everyone.

The Light Minded:
The Bare Minimum – Michael Anastassiades
Our Tool for Design – Formafantasma

C41 looks for interesting, compelling and mostly unknown characters all over the world and tells their story, using both images and a written text, going through their habits and daily lives.
