Film Commission Torino Piemonte

Mefite was born from the personal need to address a topic very important for me: the complex human/nature relation and the disruption of the ecosystem balance which has led to the climate crisis we find ourselves in. In the suggestive and windy valley d'Ansanto, this problem is very evident and is expressed in the controversial link between the depopulation of this region, Irpinia, and the invasive presence of countless wind turbines, generated by speculation. The relationship between Vito, the Mefite spring and the wind turbines allowed me to imagine a story that, mixing reality and magic, can stimulate reflection in the audience, starting from visual suggestions and proposed narratives. At the origin of every environmentalist struggle there is always a first spark. This short film does not aim to explain or give answers on the topic, but tries to be that spark.
