Omelia Contadina
JR
The difficult livelihoods of small farmers from the Alfina plateau in Italy is the starting point for this unique homage. Together with the region’s inhabitants, JR and Alice Rohrwacher create a funeral ritual in which a culture
lays itself to rest. This cinematic performance is suffused with life, to commemorate a culture that is thousands of years old and to prevent it from disappearing.
