10° FESTIVAL INTERNAZIONALE CINEMA GIOVANI
Italian Competition 1992
ON THE ROADS OF IRELAND
by Pit Formento
Country: Italy
Year: 1992
Duration: 36'
A voyage of the heart along the roads of the "Emerald Isle". An attempt to "see" this country through the eyes, the songs, and the world of its people.
"On the Roads of Ireland is the filmic result of a sentimental journey taken without any precise idea and without any preconceived narrative project. However, it is thought out and intended as the expression of the sum total of impressions and emotions accumulated during the voyage itself." (Pit Formento)
