Un cinema senza voce? Etica ed estetica del deafmovie

It seems counterintuitive that the cinema, after the technical efforts made to acquire a voice, has then chosen on certain occasions to free itself from it. However, mastering a technique also means wanting to discuss it, and this is how the deafmovie, a mimetic cinema that does not take vocality for granted, is delineated. Not everyone, in fact, has a voice; nor can everyone hear one. The objective of the paper is therefore to explore how the deafmovie gives filmic form to the absence of voice, both in terms of receptivity (being unable to hear it) and productivity (being unable to emit it).
