SOn the edge of time –
49 Royal Boulevard (1962–2020)
Serge Wolfsperger
Documentary. 2020.
Threatened by the demolition of the building he has lived in since it was built, Arnaldo Ferragni (90) reconstructs the memory of the neighborhood undergoing a final metamorphosis: the construction of a modernist site. A meeting with a site manager will propel him into the future.
“Modernity disregards our memories. We may regret it, but this movement is necessary. We evolve through our experiences. We live this paradoxical dual movement between attachment to our past and the need to project ourselves into the future.” Arnaldo Ferragni (1920-2020)
A Bombyx production.
With the support of the Film Fund Luxembourg and the Oeuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte.
