Polaroid

Pete Roleum, an oil droplet, narrates a presentation about the history and uses of oil: He starts by introducing some of his relations, with illustrations of the things that they have done throughout history. He then turns to the modern era, and shows that oil has a great many important uses, some of which might come as something of a surprise.

Maurizio Galimberti is one of the great authors of Italian photography. He works solely in Polaroid and is able to instantly connect with his subject, whether he is a Hollywood actor or an element of the urban landscape. In this film we follow Galimberti at work, as he talks about himself through his urban visions on the streets of New York and Milan, the mosaic portraits of actors and directors at the Venice Film Festival, the research on Dadaist manipulation and irreverence of its ready-mades.
