Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL TELEVISION MYTH
Un mito antropologico televisivo
Synopsis
The recent history of Sicily is transformed into a kaleidoscopic disarray of images that rob television of its mythmaking potential. The film consists of scenes shot by a regional television station in the town of Catania between 1991 and 1994—an era of important political change.

Our take
A great example of how seemingly mundane footage can be reused to create a work of social importance, this exercise in visual history-telling uses a medium representative of popular culture as a tool for the reading of social movements and citizen engagement in a Sicilian city.
