Il mondo perduto: i cortometraggi di Vittorio De Seta 1954-1959

Nel 1954 Vittorio De Seta gira sei documentari in Sicilia. Successivamente, tra il 1958 e il 1959, dirige altri quattro importanti cortometraggi in Sardegna e in Calabria. De Seta rivolge sempre il suo sguardo partecipe a realtà già allora minacciate da "uno sviluppo senza progresso", donando una preziosa testimonianza di riti, usanze e saperi ormai scomparsi. Martin Scorsese ha definito De Seta "un antropologo che si esprime con la voce di un poeta”.

10 short films made by Vittorio De Seta between 1954 and 1959 in southern Italy. True testimonies of the past, these exceptional works produced with few means place the director between the documentary filmmaking of Robert Flaherty and the modern anthropological cinema of Jean Rouch. Whether peasants, miners, fishermen or shepherds, Vittorio De Seta agrees to capture the hard work of ancestral trades with lyricism and to the rhythm of popular songs.

10 courts-métrages réalisés par Vittorio De Seta entre 1954 et 1959 dans le Sud de l’Italie. Véritables témoignages du temps passé, ces œuvres exceptionnelles réalisées avec peu de moyens placent le réalisateur entre le documentarisme de Robert Flaherty et le cinéma anthropologique moderne de Jean Rouch. Qu’il s’agisse de paysans, mineurs, pêcheurs ou bergers, Vittorio De Seta s’accorde à saisir le dur labeur des métiers ancestraux avec lyrisme et au rythme des chants populaires.
