A film screening that flows like a river between different geographies, cultures and languages, telling intimate and collective water-related stories.
Each film is a stage of a journey dedicated to this extraordinary element that represents a natural resource and a real living subject: a presence that generates culture, preserves people’s memory and invites reflection on our way of inhabiting the world. The Tiber River is a thread that runs through several works in the film screening (Io, Tevere – Le radici del mare, Nel tempo di Cesare and Tevere) narrated by different Italian filmmakers who explore its cultural and symbolic identity, as a living line between past and future. This current returns stories of community and reconciliation between man and nature. Alongside the Tiber, other waterways in Italy and worldwide reveal their deep historical and spiritual value.
The Whanganui River in New Zealand, protagonist of I am the river, the river is me, is the first in the world to be recognized as a legal person; in La memoria dell’acqua, the aquatic landscapes of Chile become a mirror of a nation marked by tragedy and erasure but also by a profound beauty to be preserved.
With an eye to the future, Water Is Love: Ripples of Regeneration documents regenerative practices that have arisen in response to the global water crisis, recounting water as an engine of resilience.
Finally, Sentieri di fiume plunges us into a solitary, contemplative adventure along the Po River, whose incredible natural landscape, noises, silences and stories characterise its long journey. Conceived as a tribute to the beauty and importance of water, the film screening is an invitation to reflect on the value of this fundamental element for human life, a generator of culture, memories and change, a fundamental part of our history and our future.
