Directed by Luzia Johow
Duration 20’ | Italian, Sardinian with English subtitles
The unique, centuries-old art of a capella male singing of Sardinia is still practiced and cultivated with devotion. In the film, this interior sound – as the breath of the soul – resonates with the diverse nature and landscape of the island. The archaic sound of these poetic songs, which differ from village to village, is passed down from generation to generation.
Luzia Johow has realised several music video projects as a director, as well as a documentary called Bato Nebo, which was shown in various international festivals (Premiere at DocLisboa 2021). Her latest short film is Top View of My Brain as a Crime Scene. She also works as a location sound recordist and edited the short film Lullaby by director Magda Chmielewska.
