Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pompei: Below the Clouds - Director Gianfranco Rosi
Q: What role does memory play in Pompeii Below the Clouds?
Memory functions as the spine of the documentary, embodied by individuals who document, preserve, and confront the past. The film uses archival footage as collective memory and places it within a contemporary context to reveal ongoing struggles with heritage, war, and memory.
Pompei: Below the Clouds - Director Gianfranco Rosi
Q: How did your multifaceted role shape the storytelling and the film's temporal architecture?
Working as a one-person crew allowed deep immersion and trust-building with subjects, which in turn created a strong, intimate portrayal of daily life. The layering of past, present, and potential futures is achieved through careful framing, selective archival material, and a time-machine-like narration of the train sequence that bridges eras.
Pompei: Below the Clouds - Director Gianfranco Rosi
Q: What inspired you to embark on this project and explore Naples through the lens of Pompeii's history?
The inspiration came from a personal, almost chance encounter with Naples, a city tied to memory and layered history. The film aims to reflect on suspended time—what the city was, is, and could become—through a focus on the offscreen, the elements outside the frame, and the people who preserve memory.
*2026 SXSW Premiere - Beyond the Duplex Planet - Director Beth Harrington
Q: What was the inspiration behind the film?
The idea grew from witnessing the genuine humanity and warmth in David's interactions with the residents, and recognizing that his lifelong curiosity and creativity could be chronicled in a way that honors his work and the people he connected with.
*2026 SXSW Premiere - Beyond the Duplex Planet - Director Beth Harrington
Q: How did you get involved with this project?
I've known David since we were both in our 20s and have stayed connected over decades, which gave me a deep, personal access to his life and the people around him, fueling the documentary from its early conception.
