Broken mountains

Broken mountains

Stories of broken mountains at the Festival. Broken inside and outside, in the landscape and in the people. The earthquake that devastated L’Aquila in Emiliano Dante’s film (Habitat. note personali), and the one that swept away Nepal. “And we already forgot”, Fausto De Stefani says, showing the pictures of the terrible shocks and of the victims. Broken mountains in the relationships. The incommunicability, the discomfort, and the conflict sign the section of the short films. An ovation to Guðmundur Arnar Guðmundsson’s Hvalfjörður (The fjord of the whale), that is a candidate among the favourites. The theatre petrified for Chrieg (War), by Simon Jaquemet. The Festival is not sparing its audience. The great beauty of the high lands is indifferent to who is tormented inside. The mountain amplifies the pain, the mountain cultivates the tensions. And the discussion heats up in the Piazza of the Festival.
