The Creation of Meaning (Italian: La creazione di significato) is a 2014 experimental film directed by Simone Rapisarda Casanova.

An elderly shepherd, Pacifico Pieruccioni, is forced by the economic crisis to give up his house and land in the Italian mountains, where his parents had fought in the Resistance against the German Army during World War II.

The film is an experimental hybrid fiction-documentary inspired by Jorge Luis Borges's short story The Aleph.

[4] Rapisarda Casanova's stylistic hallmarks include his elliptical, metacinematic approach to storytelling, his unconventional use of non-actors, his use of natural light and colour inspired by renaissance paintings,[5] along with meticulously composed static single-takes and diegetic soundscapes.

[7] The intent behind such stylistic and methodological choices is to create a cinematic occasion where people and places may reveal their deepest nature.
