about

Matera is the only provincial town in Italy without a train station, but in 2019 was declared "Capital of European culture". What is the future for this so-called City of Stones (Città dei Sassi) and at what price Matera enters the hall of fame of geographical notoriety? How deep is the separation from its past and history? Andrea Di Consoli, a writer of Lucanian origins, walks the streets of Sassi - the oldest Matera's district declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 - and those of the suburbs (the "new Sassi"), meeting the new demands of change together with the witnesses of a civilization that no longer exists - as the peasants narrated by Carlo Levi - in search of the city's inner soul. The same divided soul of Italy, torn between a strong desire for modernization and the legacy of the past. "Mater Matera" is directed by Simone Aleandri and produced by Clipper Media and Rai Cinema.
Francesco Gazzara's soundtrack is suitably close to the bucolic atmospheres of the landscape, rather sparse and acoustic. Only a few instruments - especially plucked strings and rural horns - together with appropriately sound designed effects describe the simplicity of a magic ancient place suddenly turned into a global attraction.
