PRESS RELEASE (25/08/2014)
Continuing at Loano is the film review “DOCUNATURAE, THE PLANET THAT BREATHES”, promoted by the’Department of Tourism, Culture and Sports of the City of Loano and organized by the I.So THeatre with the artistic direction of Paul Borio.
Tuesday, August 26, at 9:30 pm in the’Prince's Garden Summer Arena, the film series dedicated to auteur documentaries will host the screening of the filmè “Microcosmos - The Grass People.” (USA 1996) by By Marie Perennou and Claude Nuridsany.
The documentary features the animals that inhabit meadows, particularly insects and other invertebrates such as spiders and snails. Set in the French countryside of Aveyron over the course of a single 24-hour cycle of a summer day, this documentary shows a world never seen through the eyes of its protagonists: proportions change, times speed up, and life seen from the perspective of insects takes on a magical and adventurous aspect: rain, with its huge drops, is a real danger, simple stones turn into mountains just as even small birds become fearsome predators, and the cycle of life itself completely changes the timescales to which humans are accustomed: a day lasts an hour, a season a day, a life a season.
The entrance is free.
