PAOLO COGNETTI. SOGNI DI GRANDE NORD
di Dario Acocella (Italia, 2020, 80’)
Official Selection - Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival Official Selection – Trento Film Festival
This is a visually powerful and original journey, following in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Carver, H.D. Thoreau, Jack London, Herman Melville and Chris McCandless of “Into the Wild.” We embark on a literary voyage that stretches from the Alps all the way to Alaska together with the writer Paolo Cognetti and his friend Nicola Magrin, illustrator and traveller. The pair lead us in search of new existential frontiers for humankind and our relationship with the wild.
