Описание: The Garden of Calabria

René Georg Johansen, Jacob Krzysztof Glogowski / Danmark / 2020 / 20 min / VERDENSPREMIERE

Helt nede i støvlespidsen af Italien ligger der en olivenfarm. Her deler en rig gammel dame på næsten 100 år sin luksuriøse villa fra 1970'erne med sin store familie. Det er en voluminøs verden af dyr, mennesker og antikviteter: virkelighedens råmateriale i al sin kaotiske vælde, som i den etnografiske 'The Garden of Calabria' taler et sansernes sprog. Afhængigt af hvilken plads de optager i hierarkiet har menneskene travlt med at holde hus, holde sig i live, eller bare holde facaden, så længe det varer. Men rundt om huset strejfer en stor flok uregerlige hunde og minder os om, at den menneskelige hybris kun er en tynd og forfængelig fernis hen over fænomenernes livfulde rasen og gøren-ved. René Georg Johansen og Jacob Glogowskis film tager det hele ind med humor og et kreativt greb, der inviterer tankerne på himmelflugt.

English
At the very tip of the boot that is Italy lies an olive grove. Here, a rich old lady who is almost 100 years old shares her luxurious villa from the 1970s with her large family. It is a voluminous world full of animals, people and antiques: the raw material of reality in all its chaotic might, which in 'The Garden of Calabria' speaks the language of the senses. Depending on which space they occupy in the hierarchy, people are busy with housekeeping, staying alive, or simply with keeping up appearances as long as it all lasts. But the house is surrounded by a large pack of unruly dogs, which remind us that the human hubris is just a thin and vain veneer that covers the lively raging and activities of phenomena. René Georg Johansen and Jacob Glogowski's film takes it all in with a sense of humour and a creative approach that invites our thoughts to soar.
