THE TROJAN WOMAN

Director: Stefano Santamato
Duration: 16 min
Production year: 2020
Country of Production: Italy

In one single night, in October 2018, rain and wind tore down 14 million trees, transforming a lush mountain landscape in northern Italy into an apocalyptic ground, with environmental consequences that will affect life in the area for many a decades to come. In Carnia, one of the worst hit areas, 400 of those trunks were retrieved, and from there travel to Syracuse, opposite end of Italy, where on the Greek theater stage they gained a last role, as mute witnesses of both tragedies.
The film tells their journey as if through their own eyes, along 1500 Km and across a variety of landscapes, colors and sounds.
