Nani di pietra - Giganti di carta

Stone Dwarfs Paper Giants

We live in a push-button world where sirens urge us to consume more and more. The lack of a critical attitude and the inability to set ourselves limits upset the balance of biological and social structures and bring on destabilizing change. But nearby, hidden and silent there exist old worlds where life still follows a natural pace and human energy moves things. Each motion is thought through, every movement is slow but deliberate. How can these two contending world views be reconciled? Is there a third way, a really sustainable form of development? Assisted by Luca Mercalli, the documentarist attempts to delineate several possible pathways and “solutions” that could point us in the right direction.

Il regista / The Director

Fabio Gianotti (Turin 1978) graduated from D.A.M.S., Turin, and worked on creating the promotional video for the European Ecolabel. From 2005 to 2006 he made his first documentary, Nani di pietra Giganti di carta. He currently collaborates with the association Kinoetica, Turin.

Silvia Bongiovanni (Cuneo 1979) graduated in psychology from the University of Turin. She worked with Gianotti as script and screenplay writer on the documentary Nani di pietra Giganti di carta and Otnel e Ecolev, a short film.

“The meeting with Cesarin, Margherita and Venanzio and their alternative lifestyle testifies to the impact of the environment on human behaviour. The conflict between our mechanical, unquestioning attitude toward life and their practical, measured, slow but deliberate approach made us reflect on the possibility of a third way of development that draws on the lessons a reality based on traditions and a sense of the land can still hold for us. The desire and the need to document what remains of this traditional world and the good fortune of having a conference filmed by Mercalli on this theme, thanks to his involvement, convinced us to make this documentary.”
