Shot at New York’s Setai Hotel, this movie is described by Nowness.com as "a meditation on the romance of travel, the anonymity of hotel life and clandestine bedtime rituals. The items featured in the short film - the Marco Polo hard-case luggage, the woven leather Cabat bag and the sleeping mask - are from Bottega Veneta's permanent collection. It is hard not to be haunted by the beautiful score by Austin-based chamber-pop band Balmorhea.
Viaggio Notturno (Night Journey) - directed by Christian Weber - was inspired by his own life. “I spend ten days a month alone in a hotel, seeing people pass in the hallways, glimpsing them through windows or as they step out of the elevator,” he says. “You see these people, but you have no idea what their stories are, you can only guess. It’s about evoking that surreal state of mind you enter when you’re in an unfamiliar place.”
I have been working in the hotel business for 15 years. Being in a hotel is part of my everyday life. It is no longer as mysterious and glamorous to me as it is to other people but it doesn't matter. I remember the attraction this business had on me when I first started. I guess that it must be the reason why I was so fond of this short film - I recognized my own life in it.
