DARK MATTER

Martina Parenti, Massimo D'Anolfi, Italy 2013, 80 Min., OV with English subs
Followed by a talk with

The military testing range Salto di Quirra in Sardinia is located in a seemingly unspoiled natural landscape, between mountain ranges and the coast. But since 1956, weapon tests have been carried out here regardless of the environment and the population. Massimo D'Anolfi and Martina Parenti document the traces of devastation: the soil is highly contaminated and malformations in the humans and animals grazing on the experimental area frequently occur. By bringing together minimalist images of landscapes with archival footage, Dark Matter depicts an apocalyptic reality that is completely unknown to many.
