SÒNE:
Daniel Kemény / Switzerland / 2020 / 75 min / Colour
The town of Pietrapaola, in Calabria, once had more than twenty thousand inhabitants. Today only a few remain, no more than two hundred souls. Swiss director Daniel Kemény returns to the place where he spent his childhood to walk through the streets, porticoes and stone stairways of his memory after an absence of twenty years. He has made a collective film that frames the looks and faces of those who remained and who still live, breathe and play, animating the life of the village. Made over seven years of work and filming, in close collaboration with the inhabitants, Sòne tells of an imagined and real place and time that opens its way into the present with the power of images and popular music.
