Paolo Gioli (1942–2022), a key figure in 1970s Italian experimental cinema, created over 30 films between 1969 and 2017, alongside his internationally acclaimed photography. Rooted in his early training as a painter, his resourceful, "savage" approach to filmmaking reveals a fragmented yet raw exploration of cinema’s latent phenomena, challenging media historiography. 'When the Eye Trembles' delves into Gioli’s cinematic world through three essays (1995–2024), a previously unpublished 2014 interview, and a catalogue raisonné of his films. Georges Didi-Huberman introduces the book with a new preface.
