Cosmic Energy
(Italy/Spain, 2011, HD /DV, 52', col.)
directed by Giuseppe Schillaci
In Italy, three men founded a company whose mission is to test new methods in agriculture and the environment. Their theory is based on the idea that Cosmos, Nature and Man made of the same energy and thus are connected. In February 2009, their theories are tested by a Regional Institute for Research. With an ironic tone, but never superficial, between comedy and drama accompanied by inserts animated graphics, this documentary will take us into the visible and invisible “world” of the three protagonists.
