Biùtiful Cauntri Green Screens Goes Italian! Monday, June 9, 2008 at 7:15pm Shepherds see their sheep die of dioxin poisoning. Parents check their children for unknown rashes or swellings. Farmers cautiously cultivate their fields, fearful they’ve been contaminated by nearby garbage dumps. Welcome to the “Massacre of Campania,” the region with the highest number of illegal dumps in all of Italy. Biùtiful Cauntri (the title is a play on English) puts faces on the stories that have appeared in the international media about the still-unsolved problem of waste disposal in Naples and its environs. Behind it all is the Camorra, the Neapolitan version of the Mafia, which has long controlled the waste disposal business and has used their influence over politicians to get away an unbridled desecration of the land and water supply. According to the filmmakers, “We ask ourselves how, in 2007, people can still live this way here in Italy…the problem of waste disposal involves wide-ranging and complex mechanisms that touch politics, the economy, organized crime and public health. It doesn’t involve only Campania, but rather the whole country.” Presented in collaboration with the Open Roads: New Italian Cinema program. Biùtiful Cauntri Directed by Esmeralda Calabria, Andrea D'Ambrosio & Peppe Ruggiero; Italy, 2007, 73m The Film Society’s Green Screens program addresses through film the vital environmental concerns of global warming, the safety of our food supply, sustainable living, and more. Each screening includes a discussion and reception with artists and expert commentators, where we invite non-profit organizations and others to provide materials and raise awareness of the many positive actions we can all take. Green Screens is programmed by Sharon Bahus, Isa Cucinotta and Marian Masone. In addition to this series, the Film Society screens PSAs showcasing climate change, sustainability and other matters concerning the health of our planet and its inhabitants. We are one of the first movie theaters in the country to regularly screen such PSAs and we encourage other theaters to join us.
