In 1963, Jackson Pollock had already been dead for some time, but it seems he never made it to Romagna. On 21 September of that year, during the Cultural Week in Alfonsine, Enzo Donati filmed the participants in the painting competition in the streets of the town, immersed in the places and subjects they were painting and comparing the paintings with the 'reality' faithfully reproduced by the artists. Donati likes to lose himself in 'extemporary painting' (as this improvisation-based exhibition is called in the poster framed at the beginning), filming nature paintings one after the other, himself probably obsessed by the desire to reproduce them on colour film in an attempt to find a further level of representation. The filmed country itself looks like a painting, in fact there is a risk of confusion. But then the camera is literally kidnapped by a steam locomotive, puffing, as if it were the real surprise of the day. Who will dare to paint it when with a brushstroke of the camera the locomotive even moves?
