RAI Film Festival 2017. Launeddas in tempus di crisi. Nodas
Description
Dating back 3000 years to the Nuragic civilisation on Sardinia, 'launeddas' are wind instruments that testify to contacts from across the Mediterranean. Although they nearly vanished in the 1960s, in today’s "time of crisis", launeddas have been associated with levels of virtuoso performance that only a few decades ago seemed no longer attainable. This documentary portrays five talented young launeddas players, exploring through their eyes the interstitial spaces between folklore and ethnicity, tradition and experimentation, identity and globalization. In doing so, it offers a harsh overview of an entire generation of Sardinian life.
