Presented at the 14th edition of Lo schermo dell'arte, 2021 Film produced thanks to the crowdfunding campaign Artists' FIlm Italia Recovery Fund The film narrates the reality of «Carlo Colla & Figli Puppet Company», one of the most ancient and famous puppet companies in the world. The Company’s Atelier in Milan houses more than three thousand puppets. The film is based on a text, performed by actress and director Silvia Costa and written by the artificial neural network Inferkit, a text generator that - starting from an input provided by the user - can produce a writing of any length on any topic. In a reverse chronology, Diteggiatura recounts a year spent in the Atelier of the Colla Company, following the rituals of a community called upon to accompany the life of anthropomorphic objects.
