Stories of resistance and resilience

Blood Red Snow

Continue to Cinema of the Villar Perosa Valleys (viale G. Ferraris, 2 corner viale S. Pertini) the second edition of the review Montagna Doc – Stories of resistance and resilience. Scheduled every Saturday until December 3rd appointments dedicated to the mountains and adventure, as physical and spiritual places. Each screening is preceded by a themed meeting with guests: directors, journalists, experts and protagonists of the documentaries. All films are related to Piedmont by setting, production or direction.

“Montagna Doc is perhaps the exhibition that most underlines our desire to make Cinema delle Valli a cultural meeting place for the territory – he explains Alessandro Gaido, president of the Piemonte Movie Association and director of Cinema delle Valli -. We will not limit ourselves to showing mountain films, but we will put the cinema at the service of the community. At the center of the evenings there will be global themes dropped into the local reality and addressed by qualified speakers. They will be glocal stories, in short, as always. In addition, the review will also be an opportunity to experience a new collaboration with the newborn RBE TV. Transforming the room into a television studio is a fascinating challenge that is worth facing “.

THE PROGRAM

Saturday 12th November Blood Red Snow by Daniel Daquino e Ilmurrán – Maasai in the Alps by Sandro Bozzolo, the first dedicated to the Massacre of Valmala on March 6, 1945, when nine Garibaldi partisans were killed by the Monterosa Alpine troops at the end of the war, while the second documents the experience of Leah and Silvia, a young Maasai and a bergera (shepherd of sheep) who in 2014 shared the pasture on the pastures of the Maritime Alps. Maasai and Bergé are similar peoples, marked by a parallel history: both practice nomadic pastoralism and find themselves walking in a delicate balance on the borderline between tradition and modernity. In the room the director Daniel Daquino and the protagonist Silvia Somà.
