Jof è una parola friulana che significa montagna e giogo. La storia di Jof comincia con un luogo, l’estremità delle Alpi orientali, chiamate Carniche e Giulie, che toccano Italia, Slovenia ed Austria. Queste montagne, nel primo inverno dopo il lockdown italiano, dovuto alla pandemia di Covid-19 diventano luogo di riflessione. Attraverso un approccio lento, privo delle ‘performance’ produttive richieste dalla nostra società, ho deciso di attraversare questi luoghi con gli sci per ricercarne il senso e la storia. E’ un progetto sperimentale che si pone come sfida quella di mettere assieme diversi temi, cifre stilistiche e strategie narrative attraverso una mini serie web con puntate di 10-15 minuti. Questa è la puntata pilota.

The documentary, Melting Landscapes – Glaciers, showing the slow, but constant melting of our earth’s glaciers and its relationship with climate change, was shot in Antarctica, Argentina, Chile, Greenland and Iceland. The study of our planet’s glaciers is key to understanding climate change. Glaciers store 75% of our fresh water, reflect excess heat back to space and keep our planet cool. A small air bubble trapped in ice millions of years ago possesses valuable information about past climate and analysing them provides direct data on when they were created. Global warming is causing accelerated fusion of Arctic ice, the Greenland mantle and the most vulnerable regions of Antarctica, altering their habitats, ocean currents and the climate worldwide. In listening to our earth’s glaciers recede in a disturbing silence, we are witnessing a change with no return, as each disappearing small ice particle slowly takes us one step closer to uncertain alteration.

The Trebbia valley is the home of one of the few rivers still uncontaminated in Italy and Europe, the Trebbia River. The inhabitants of the valley have played over the years a fundamental role in the preservation of this ecosystem by saving the river and its tributaries from the constant threat of the construction of new dams and hydroelectric plants which, had they been completed, would have destroyed this natural environment. The calling of Trebbia is a bike-rafting trip to discover an uncontaminated and wild valley with green ridges and winding canyons crossed by stunning emerald waters. It is the story of an adventure, discovery and resistance that leaves the audience with the inspiration to act, the courage to fight for their land and the environment while showing the potential of ecotourism as an alternative sustainable.
