La catena

Directed by

A ship illegally dumps toxic waste into the sea, and the poisoning spreads among the fish, which then end up on the tables of those responsible for this disaster. In just three minutes, Vincenzo Gioanola and the students from the Primo Liceo Artistico di Torino, whom he coordinated in the creation of this 2D digital animation project, tell us how we are seriously endangering the environment, and therefore our survival, with our reckless and illogical behavior.

About the Movie La catena

The film was made during the Cinema Workshop lessons at the Primo Liceo Artistico in Turin, led by Gian Carlo Povero.

«For several years, the Film Lab at Primo Liceo Artistico has identified animated film as the medium most suited to its artistic vocation. The lab's production has been predominantly experimental, alternating the classic techniques of animation masters with digital works created with cutting-edge software. This past year [2008] we felt the need to address not only the technical challenges of the medium, but also the communication of a concept through storytelling. The environmental theme seemed like an excellent starting point due to its relevance and the way it was perceived and experienced by young people». (Gian Carlo Povero)
