Scrivo ad alta voce

Pier Paolo Giarolo, Antonio Dalla Palma

Roberta Dapunt

An invitation to listen to someone who uses words to explore the interaction between man and modern times. In her mountain hut in Ciaminades, in Val Badia, Roberta Dapunt talks to us about her writing. She lets us glimpse the sheets of poetry hanging on the wall, waiting for additions and deletions, subject to continuous rewriting. And when Roberta reads her poetry we cling to the verse as if to a mountain rock face.

Pier Paolo Giarolo

Book translators, as director Pier Paolo Giarolo observes, have a lot in common with musicians and bakers: “[They] have to master not only a language but what’s behind it: an entire culture and an idea of the world.” Alice Rohrwacher performs a similarly interpretive role as Garolo’s assistant director and editor, creating meaning through the selection and splicing of images and sounds.
