CinemAmbiente in cooperation with Circoscrizione VI - Torino, organizes the film exhibition 'Ecokids 2011', screenings for the primary schools of the city. All the events will be introducedby an environmental expert.
Dying of Work enquires into the construction business in Italy, the workers, and the family members of the victims of work-related deaths. The narration unfolds with the stories and testimonies of these people, filmed in close-up as they drive their cars. In addition, three actors, two Italian and one Senegalese, play the role of a worker who dies on a building site. Conversation centers around accidental deaths, pride in one’s work, learning a trade, work safety and the lack of it, illegal work, and hiring practices.
Daniele Segre (b. 1952, Alessandria, Italy), author of cinéma-vérité, fiction films and theatrical events, began his career as documentary photographer in Turin before turning to film and video making in the mid 1970s: Il potere dev'essere bianconero, 1978; Vite di ballatoio, 1984. In 1981 he founded the I Cammelli production company and in 1989 the I Cammelli Scuola video di documentazione sociale, launching dozens of young directors in social audiovisual filmmaking. Feature films to his credit include: Testadura, 1983; Vecchie, 2002; Mitraglia e il Verme, 2004; he is also known as stage (including Annibale Ruccello's "Week-end", 1995) and TV series director (Volti - Viaggio nel futuro d'Italia, 2004). His works, which are often seen on public TV networks and presented at the Venice Film Festival among others, have earned him numerous national and international awards. He teaches directing (Cinema and reality) at the Scuola Nazionale di Cinema, Rome, and was co-director of the Bellaria Film Festival over the period 2002 to 2005.
«As private individual, citizen and director, I believe we have to muster the strength to get back on course and go forward; this has been neglected for too long and has prevented workers and their families from working and living a decent life. I think it’s time that we stop being ashamed and start doing something to ensure safe, legal working conditions because we should be able to go to work in the morning without fearing that we may not come back home in the evening».
