Alessandro’s father, Giuseppe Lucarini, grew up in the Italian countryside in the 1960s. During this same period, television brought opportunities and hope to the world of farmers, a world that was precarious and without prospects. Within a few years, the Italian countryside depopulated as farmers moved to cities in search of a better life. The limitations of a small horizon, and the fears from the stories told in the darkness in front of the fireplace, disappeared in the cold light of television. What if the fears haven't vanished but simply moved inside the TV screen? Are we sure that there is something beyond the horizon? This video work combines archival television footage and personal family archive with the voice recordings and testimony of Giuseppe, who was born and lived between 1954 and 1974 in the Italian countryside before moving to the small town of Urbania (population: 6,829) in the Marche hills. The project explores these two contrasting worlds in its attempt to understand whether or not the promises made by television, to the farming world, were fulfilled. AWARDS:

What is life? It is a question that each of us sooner or later asks himself. Day after day is the short film that through a (imagined) story of a child will try to give us an answer. This is the story of Mauro Ottaviano, born in 1940 on the slopes of the Tuscan Apennines of Pratomagno. Born and raised in the beautiful Tuscan countryside, he will tell us about his walks, his friends, his family and the most important episodes of his long life. A short journey through the artistic beauties of the Tuscan places he lived in and the natural ones of the Valdarno area. We will relive an extraordinary story that will remind us how unique life is and worth living, respecting, facing in all its facets. It is a true praise that the authors and directors Luca Liotti and Raffaele Musumeci pose.
