“È stato un sogno”: the short film by OffiCine-IED with Silvio Soldini

È stato un sogno does not feature an epic plot or majestic sets. The Salone urged the students to reflect on what it means  to build beauty and community through relationships. The result is a twofold interpretation: physical, with objects and furnishings that invite a sharing of moments and lives, and immaterial, through the encounter, a metaphor for a possible communion of intents. 

Co-starring in the movie was a selection of furnishings from Amini, Arper, Artemide, Colos, Desalto, Flos, Kartell, Lago, Lema, Living Divani, Magis, Molteni&C, Poliform and Secto Design, companies that generously made a product of their own available to furnish the living room at the center of the short film. 

Maria Porro, President of the Salone del Mobile.Milano, said: “I chose to study set design because I saw it as a total art capable of bringing together literature, architecture, precise design. So it was really exciting to view this short film and know that I had contributed to it by supporting  the students who made it thanks to the Salone del Mobile.Milano and some of its most important exhibitors. Our purpose is never just educational. What the Salone seeks to do by reaching schools and universities is to facilitate creative exchanges and culture-driven innovation, and help the next generation of international professionals to emerge and fulfil their talents.” 

After the premiere in Milan, È stato un sogno will be distributed in the main national and international film festivals.
