Fuori dal seminato
Directed by
A mysterious dinner in a place in Turin: turfs with flowering plants, heaps of acorns and leaves lying on the floor, cans containing indefinite stuff. Two artists of Turin combine together their passion for collecting and art creation and so they give birth to ESCULENTA – action of common collection and food consumption of natural produce. In this project the stress focuses on harvest, the very early deed to find nourishment, the straight thread between man and nature, a lost knowledge which maybe it is worth retrieving. Through an inquiry involving the pickers present on our lands, we will find out the various ways and aims of harvest: some people pick up for food, others for medical treatment or as a job. The pickers speak about their individual experiences, leading to consider the difficulties, the limits of harvest, but also the strong ties with a land seen as the origin of resources and a precious gift to protect.

About the Movie Fuori dal seminato
Scene/ries of sustainability
A course/competition to make a video on daily routine and imaginary life, pictured the subject of sustainable development from the environmental, economical and social point of view.
Second edition of SCENE/RIES OF SUSTAINABILITY shown within the International Festival CINEMAMBIENTE 2003.
This project has been devised to carry out effective works on environmental communication, offering a chance to all concerned people to express their original ideas related to environmental topics. The audiovisual tool has been chosen for its communicative impact.
Through five work groups who made five video-reports, SCENE/RIES OF SUSTAINABILITY has created the conditions of a training path to enhance the students/competitors experiences in the field of environmental sustainability and to supply all technical and cultural tools for the audiovisual making.
The five video-reports shoot the angle of people deeply rooted in our areas trying to yield even small changes; so they help the testing of new communication strategies to face complex problems of public interest.
SCENE/RIES OF SUSTAINABILITY is a pilot project promoted by Turin Territorial Laboratory for Environmental Education, M.A.P. Media Agency Province of Turin, Programming Service Sustainable Development and Waste of the Province of Turin, in collaboration with Coop Zenit Audiovisual Arts and CINEMAMBIENTE.
