WAITS. A PRESENT
Gaetano Pimazzoni / Italy / 2023 / 42 min / Colour
European premiere
The wait is long, while trying to glimpse what is rare. Long stakeouts of the director in the mountainous nature, dedicated to the most discussed predator of our mountains: the wolf. Gaetano Pimazzoni tells a completely personal story, where emotion is only whispered in the early dawn. The filming is imbued with passion, poetry, and patience. The experience is intimate and the atmosphere, between the real and the imaginary, reflects the silent connection between humans and the wild, beyond the veil that separates them. In the background is the Lessinia plateau which extends between Veneto and Trentino, a unique setting where the history of Man is intertwined with that of a forgotten Nature, but today more alive than ever.
