A Tree of Palme

A painterly and sensual immersion in late nineteenth-century Italian farm life, Ermanno Olmi’s The Tree of Wooden Clogs lovingly focuses on four families working for one landowner on an isolated estate in the province of Bergamo. Filming on an abandoned farm for four months, Olmi adapted neorealist techniques to tell his story, enlisting local people to live as their own ancestors had, speaking in their native dialect on locations with which they were intimately familiar - Tra l'autunno 1897 e l'estate 1898, quattro famiglie vivono in una cascina della Bassa Bergamasca. Tra i componenti di questa comunità esiste un profondo legame spirituale e culturale che li porta a vivere insieme cose belle e cose tragiche, avvenimenti ordinari e avvenimenti straordinari.

Hanan Townshend is an acclaimed film composer based in Seattle, Washington. Townshend has composed music for numerous feature films, docs, commercials and tv shows, including frequent collaborations with Palme d’Or winning director Terrence Malick and three time Oscar-winning DP/director Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki. He has scored over a dozen feature films and written music for numerous domestic and international commercials for companies such as Apple, Volvo, Guinness and American Express.Townshend pulls very deeply from his upbringing in rural New Zealand living up on the ocean – his music is a reflection of the poetic soundscapes of his home country, the eager patterns of popular music, and the refinement of his studies in art composition. Townshend has a penchant for approaching film music from a less conventional perspective and producing emotional work that leaves the listener feeling something deeply.
