Clouds appear to be all the same, but only from a distance; they change all the time, and even when they cause damage they are crucial to life on earth. In the same way, social movements put energy back into circulation; they are a response to bottled-up societal energies. This film is a sort of essay in images, whose main characters are a meteorologist, a Scottish teenager, a math and music whiz, and an animated cartoon scientist. The result is a highly illuminating and stirring allegory that links weather disturbances to the sensibility of those living on this planet here and now.
(35mm presentation, Italian language with English subtitles.)
Director Guido Chiesa is scheduled to be present.
