Watching: Le isole non si sentono mai sole

Overview

The island of Bácan, in the Venice Lagoon, is a strip of land that once emerged only in the summer. Human intervention, particularly the excavation work for the MOSE dam has altered the lagoon’s water balance, making the island a permanent feature. Through a narration that gives voice to the island itself, the film reflects on its changing nature and on the connection between humans, water, and the landscape.
