A Lens on History: Lorenza Mazzetti’s Films

In London, during the 1950s, Lorenza Mazzetti became a filmmaker and one of the founders of the Free Cinema movement. She could not recount the pain she had suffered to anyone; it emerged in her art. She and her twin sister Paola had been adopted by Nina and Robert Einstein, first cousin of Albert. While Robert was in hiding, the women of the family were massacred by the Germans on August 3, 1944. The girls, then 16, were the only survivors. In the Sixties, Lorenza broke the borders of conventional cinema transforming her unspeakable memory into a disruptive creative force. An evening of Lorenza’s films recently restored by the British Film Institute. With Alessandro Cassin.
