"In the film about Veneto there is no trace of that glossy image of the rich happy island that the media stubbornly keeps on holding up as a model. However, what we are presenting is a Veneto that evades even the usual stereotypes that Italian cinema has always made do with. This is an unusual Veneto that lies between its humble peasant origins and its present industrial prosperity and shows signs of an obvious cultural degeneration. What is at hand is a weakness that the films have recorded almost beneath their breaths. It is something that we had wanted to bring into the light. The video is a product of a long research project that entailed the viewing of more than two hundred films and the compilation of a data bank of over four hours for them" (Nicola Berti, Chiara Boschiero, Silvia Polato).
