TURIN AND THE ALPS 2015 presents Other paradises, a selection of documentaries on the relationship between man and the mountain environment.

This year’s edition for Turin and the Alps is initiating a collaboration with the Trento Film Festival, a referential film showcase in Italy. The selection, carried out within the titles at the festival, will try as much as possible to restore an idea of mountains not simply being an object of exploitation, but, on the contrary, a vital, identifying and universal element at the same time. The titles in the programme are documentaries touching on the most diverse themes, linked nevertheless by a critical viewpoint and by their opening up to the possibilities fielded by the link between man and the mountain environment – be it purely geographical, metaphorical or spiritual. The programme: 4.00 p.m. Contadini di montagna (Mountain farmers) by Michele Trentini (74’); 5.45 p.m. Tashi and the Monk by Andrew Hinton e Johnny Burke (39'); 7.00 p.m. Life in Paradise by Roman Vital (78’); 9.00 p.m. Coming of Age by Teboho Edkins (63’). Admission free.
