Sancho Panza enters a movie theatre in a provincial city. He is looking for Don Quixote and he finds him sitting off to the side and staring at the screen. The theatre is almost full; the balcony is entirely occupied by noisy children… La proiezione è cominciata (The Projection Has Begun) is an adaptation of The Six Most Beautiful Minutes in the History of Cinema by Giorgio Agamben. It is a portrait in 24 daguerreotypes per second.
