About the project

Black is a short animated film directed by Sara Taigher with the contribution of the Italian Ministry of National Heritage and Cultural Activities and a Kickstarter Campaign. The film is set in Rome and tells the story of Matteo, a young producer of electronic music, who during a long blackout can’t resign to the idea of not being able to play at the computer anymore.
