Venice’s ‘Bestiari, Erbari, Lapidari’ Boarded by Fandango Sales, Teaser Debuts (EXCLUSIVE)
Fandango Sales has boarded essay documentary 'Bestiari, Erbari, Lapidari,' which plays in the out of competition section of the Venice Film Festival.
“Bestiari, Erbari, Lapidari,” which is described as “a reflection on the relationship between humans and nature that exists beyond our impact on it,” is divided into three acts, dealing with animals, plants and stones, respectively. “Our film is a tribute to the ‘unknown’ and in some ways alien world of animals, plants and stones, which we too often take for granted, but with which we should actually be in constant dialogue since it constitutes the essential part of our existence on Planet Earth,” according to a statement. “Bestiaries” is based on found footage and on the how and why cinema has obsessively represented animals; “Herbaria” is an observational documentary, shot inside the Botanical Garden of Padua; and “Lapidaries” is an “industrial and emotional film on the transformation of stone into collective memory.”
