‘Firenze città d’acque – Storie d’acqua e miti per raccontare una città’ at Cinema La Compagnia in November
Premiering at La Compagnia is the documentary ‘Firenze città d’acque – Storie d’acqua e miti per raccontare una città’ directed by Tuscan directors Massimo Becattini, Sandro Nardoni and Luciano Nocentini
The image of Florence in the media is one of the most recurrent, but also one of the most trivialised and stereotyped. The film aims to give the city a completely original image, going beyond a purely historical-artistic vision and linking it to the myths, stories and characters that “run” along the small rivers that cross it.
The element of water, a founding myth of any civilisation, is capable of attracting a less superficial and conventional interest, and the film illustrates this by traversing historical, naturalistic, anthropological and artistic themes, attempting to create a visual experience that transports the spectator to an ‘elsewhere’ unknown to him, even though it starts from places that are familiar, only in appearance.
The documentary, supported by the Toscana Film Commission as part of the Sensi Contemporanei Toscana per il Cinema programme, will be premiered on Tuesday 22 November at 7 pm and repeated on Thursday 24 at 8.30 pm.
