Synopsis
"Cambia Aria" ("Change The Air") is a thought-provoking short film by Michele Formica and Giordano Scialanga that delves into the environmental crisis of our modern world. Through stark imagery of smog, trash, and pollution, the film captures the suffocating effects of humanity's disregard for eco-sustainability. The narrative is a wake-up call, vividly portraying the claustrophobia that has developed from years of environmental neglect. Created for a Fiat contest aimed at promoting the use of natural gas vehicles, the film serves as both a critique of current practices and an invitation to reconsider our relationship with the environment. As the world struggles to breathe under the weight of its own waste, this film reminds us of the urgent need to reconnect with nature and to prioritize sustainable living.
Statement
Michele Formica and Giordano Scialanga use the powerful medium of visual storytelling to confront the viewer with the harsh realities of environmental degradation. The film reflects on how the modern world has prioritized convenience and consumption over the health of our planet, leading to a suffocating existence where fresh air and clean environments are increasingly rare. By participating in a contest sponsored by Fiat to promote the use of natural gas vehicles, the filmmakers align their message with a practical solution: transitioning to cleaner energy sources. This film is an urgent reminder that change is possible, but it requires a collective effort to breathe new life into our world.
