Gods Of Stone

Shot on rich 16mm, this beautiful portrait of place asks a simple question: how do you come of age in an ancient land? We learn the history of old kings and border smugglers. We hear the sheep bells. We feel the rhythms of harvest. And we watch Mariana grow from a four-year-old into a young woman who must decide whether to leave the village for the city. Recalling the lyrical cinema of Vittorio De Seta, who documented the disappearing worlds of 1950s rural Italy, this impressive debut summons the myths, rituals and labour that sustain a place over time.
