Un Altro Pianeta
dir. Stefano Tummolini (Italy, 2008, 82 mins)
Italian with English subtitles
Wednesday, June 3, 8:15 PM
The story unfolds in a single day, from morning to sunset, on a public beach which is the meeting point of naturists and people looking for sex.
On that summer morning, Salvatore is crossing the sand dunes heading towards the beach, savoring some quiet time in the sun. Little does he know this will be a day unlike any other..
A wooden fence separates the beach from the dunes, where an almost unreal silence reigns supreme. That is where people meet, like Salvatore and Daniela.
In the course of the day, though unwillingly, Salvatore will have no choice but to face up to the ghosts of his past, struggle to regain his peace of mind and possibly open up a whole new life.
Shot in roughly one week without state funding or economic assistance, Tummolini's film is a stunning example of sensitive storytelling, where the emotion of discovering another human being and one true self becomes a real dramatic challenge.
Winner of the Queer Lion for Best Film at the 2008 Venice Film Festival and nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
Part of a monthly series dedicated to new Italian independent cinema.
