Documentary
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.
