TFFDOC/ITALIANA
LUCUS A LUCENDO - A PROPOSITO DI CARLO LEVI
by Alessandra Lancellotti, Enrico Masi
Country: Italy
Year: 2019
Duration: 83'
With the expression “Lucus a non lucendo” (wood of non-light), Carlo Levi describes the landscape known during his confinement in Basilicata. After two generations, Stefano Levi Della Torre embarks on a journey to the places of Carlo’s public life. The traveling companions are Carlo Ginzburg and Alessandra Lancellotti, who embodies a new disciple, a role that Stefano had played with Carlo. The documentary is a dialectical comparison that alternates the pictorial landscape with the memorial one, to become a separate work in which one of the masterpieces of Italian anthropology, Christ Stopped at Eboli, finds a new cinematographic translation.

Declaration
film director
“In the discovery of the Levi’s heritage, Stefano is the interpreter of a story suspended between past and present, a gateway for those who live in those dark territories that remain buried in the silence of history. The presence of Carlo Levi is so vast that it becomes immanent for us, a positive disease of knowledge, of fear and desire towards the world, of criticism and contemplation of his ‘mirroring differences.’”
