Film screening at the Festival of Mediterranean Cinema.

Our film with artist Mariagrazia Pontorno #nobilisgoldenmoon is in program of Mostra de Valencia festival. It is the first film we successfully produced, from idea of research, production process, finding budget, making distribution. 

Nobilis Golden Moon is a movie straddling two pandemics and two full moons. A documentary about the relationship between scientific thought and magical one, told through the Pinna Nobilis, the largest bivalve in the Mediterranean. Pinna Nobilis, also known as the “Sentinel of Mediterranean”, is a large mussel which exceeds the height of a meter, at risk of disappearing for a pandemic disease. The narration sets a parallelism between the current emergency that the whole world is experiencing because of Covid-19 and that one of the Mediterranean and Pinna Nobilis.

Nobilis Golden Moon is a personal and partially autobiographical reportage, shot astride the full moons of July and August 2020, in Valencia (Spain) and in Sant’antioco (Sardinia-Italy). In these two places, in the moonlight, Mariagrazia (director/narrator) learns the scientific and esoteric point of view about Pinna Nobilis, and much more....
