To cultivate the Landscape
Projection of the short film “Le rupi del vino” directed by Ermanno Olmi; to follow: conference.
The respect of the agriculture for the rural territory produces the beauty of the landscape. Landscape of quality doesn’t exist without agriculture of quality. The cinema has investigated the themes of the ancient agrarian wisdoms and the landscape in different occasions.
A beautiful film knows in fact how to communicate and to excite, to transmit feelings that show the cycle of the seasons and the flowing of the time.
The evening foresees the projection of the short film ” Wine’s cliffs” of Ermanno Olmi, a film dedicated to the relationship among man, agriculture and landscape.
The projection will be preceded by an introduction by Mario Allodi and it will continue with a conversation to more voices, that it will drive the public to the knowledge and the reflection of the landscape to observe and from “to cultivate.”Program:
- Introduction by Mario Allodi, landscape architect.
- Projection short film.
- Conversation with: Mario Allodi; Luca Rendina, artist and journalist; Carlo Meazza, photographer; Antonio Pedretti, artist.
