Umano No Umano (aka. Human Not Human) Directed by: Mario Schifano Producer: Anita Pallenberg/ Ettore Rosboch Running Time: 95 min Color Date: 1969 |
Mario Schifano, an Italian Pop Art painter/collagist considered to be one of most significant and pre-eminent artists of Italian postmodernism, who exhibited alongside Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, released this experimental 35-mm film Umano Non Umano (Human, Not Human) in 1971. A freewheelin, open-ended reverie that documents visits with artists and poets, performances, demonstrations, walks in the street, and is notable for the inclusion of odd scenes with Jagger, Richards, Anita Pallenberg (once Schifano’s girlfriend), Carmello Bene, the poet Sandro Penna and novelist Alberto Moravia among others. Schifano had a relationship with Marianne Faithfull in 1969.
