o Sal da Terra Wim Wenders

In the 1970s, Wim Wenders was among the first true international breakthrough artists of the revolutionary New German Cinema movement, a filmmaker whose fascination with the physical landscapes and emotional contours of the open road proved to be universal. In the middle of that decade, Wenders embarked on a three-film journey that took him from the wide roads of Germany to the endless highways of the United States and back again. Each starring Rüdiger Vogler as the director’s alter ego, Alice in the Cities, Wrong Move, and Kings of the Road are dramas of emotional transformation that follow their characters’ searches for themselves, all rendered with uncommon soulfulness and visual poetry.

"Inventare la pace" muove dalla constatazione che noi, di solito, "guardiamo il mondo senza osservarlo", lasciandoci scorrere davanti agli occhi, magari con indifferenza o per mancanza di tempo, tutto ciò che di male ci accade intorno, quotidianamente: guerre, ingiustizie, sofferenze, violenza. Quali sono allora le conseguenze etiche di questo guardare senza vedere? E, soprattutto, che fine ha fatto la nozione di pace in tale contesto di non-attenzione, non-conoscenza? Un grande regista contemporaneo, Wim Wenders, e la filosofa Mary Zournazi dialogano su una delle questioni cruciali del nostro tempo, affermando la necessità non più differibile di reinventare un linguaggio visivo e morale finalizzato alla pace e alle strategie per costruirla insieme. Ecco la vera sfida intellettuale del Terzo Millennio, raccolta, nei modi della confessione più intima e avvincente, da un poeta della visione e Maestro del cinema contemporaneo. Postfazione di Guido Brivio.

The conversation between Wim Wenders and Melinda Camber Porter (1953-2008), took place on location, in December 1983, while Mr. Wenders was shooting his first American film, Paris, Texas. America was a place of European immigrants, German immigrants, and a vast land stretching to California. Men and women were becoming disillusioned and seeking "that something," just out of reach.
