The Disappearance of My Mother

Benedetta Barzini wants to disappear. An iconic fashion model in the 1960s, she became a museto Warhol, Dali, Penn and Avedon. As a radical feminist in the 1970s, she fought for the rightsand emancipation of women. But at the age of 75, she is fed up with all the roles that life hasimposed on her and decides to leave everything and everybody behind, to disappear to a place asfar as possible from the gaze of the camera. Only her son Beniamino is permitted to witness herjourney. Having filmed her since he was a child despite her resistance, he now wants to make afilm about her, to keep her close for as long as possible – or, at least, as long as his camera keepsrunning. The making of The Disappearance of My Mother turns into a battle between mother andson, a stubborn fight to capture the ultimate image of Benedetta – that of her liberation.Special Features:-Audio commentary by film curator Eric Hynes -Deleted Scenes -Theatrical Trailer
