Una macchina ad acqua
A WATER-POWERED MACHINE
Carlo Malacchini / Italy / 1996 / 27 min / Colour
A day in the life of a family in the Lessinia of the 1950s. The routine gestures tell of their attachment to the earth and to traditions, and of their profound sense of life.

Born in Caldiero, a province of Verona, in 1952, he studied the humanities at the Università di Padova. Both a photographer and a scholar of peasant culture, his films are devoted to documenting long ago traditions and customs of the Lessinia.
