Franco Piavoli. ‘Il Pianeta Azzurro’

Piavoli’s first feature film is a visual and sonic symphony on nature and its inhabitants: humans, animals, and plants. This unique film, which follows the rhythm of the seasons and the secrets of the earth and which has no dialogues or music, was shot by the filmmaker in the area around lake Garda. In it he displays biological evolution and the fundamental aspects of life (play and love, work and rest, coexistence and aggression) as fragments of a fascinating cosmic balance. “A poem, a journey, a concert of nature, of the universe, of life. An different vision from what we usually see” (Andrei Tarkovsky).
