(Greta Garbo)

Content: Produced in Italy in 1974, Anna Baldazzi’s Greta Garbo is a 30-minute color short that embarks on a singular quest: a journey through the streets of New York in search of the legendary screen icon. Far from a traditional documentary, the film serves as a personal exploration of the filmmaker’s own relationship with the city, navigated through a lens of irony and farce. Baldazzi engages in a playful, dialectical game with the concept of stardom; her stated objective is to "destroy the myth" of the diva, yet she achieves a striking paradox. By maintaining the total absence of Greta Garbo for the entire duration of the film, the legend is not erased, but rather powerfully re-established through its own void.
