Synopsis
Vittorio De Seta captures the landscapes of Sicily, Sardinia, and Calabria in a series of documentaries filmed between 1954 and 1959. His work documents rituals, customs, and knowledge that faced threats from unchecked development. The collection includes six films from 1954 and four additional shorts, all digitized with support from the Cineteca di Bologna and Martin Scorsese. De Seta's approach combines anthropological insight with a poetic sensibility, preserving a way of life that has largely vanished.
