Gente d'alpe
Mountain chronicle
Sandro Nardi, Giovanna Poldi Allai, Filippo Lilloni / Italy / 2010 / 42 min / Colour
Poets, shepherds, ex-shepherds, mule-drivers, and breeders re-count the Alps as a natural bastion, a site to be defended, like one’s own home and roots. The mountain people’s choices, words, and gestures remind us that men are born free and complete, that natural laws favour life on earth, that animals are indispensable for Man, and that political-economic ideologies and powers pass, while the Alps, although they change, remain.
