Biùtiful Cauntri Series: Open Roads: New Italian Cinema [June 6 – 12, 2008] Directed by Esmeralda Calabria, Andrea D'Ambrosio & Peppe Ruggiero; Country: Italy, Release: 2007, Runtime: 73 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 Film Society's Green Screens program.
