The eco-film that comes from the web


by Eleonora Anello

Itali@mbiente is the new project of Avoicomunicare, Telecom Italy's blog dedicated to dialogue and exchange on issues crucial to the future of society. At the heart of discussions between users and experts: the environment and sustainable development, the balance between possible worlds and cultures, integration, peace-building. The active community, always at the center of attention of Telecom, is working to make the first documentary produced, written and directed entirely by the network.

That is Mario Tozzi’s idea, geologist and known science popularizer, who is the curator and the guarantor of the scientific activity as well as the person in charge, with the Avoicomunicare team, of the structuring and contributions from the network.Each user can in fact make his contribution on a topic, also selected by the community, which is the environmental discomfort in all its meanings. Specifically, so any reporter can be dedicated to the consumption of soil, or biodiversity, urban traffic, industrial plants or waste.

Anyone who wants to denounce some situations but not necessarily alarming risk to the environment, can avail themselves of the instruments and the reputation by a big telecommunications company and the cooperation of all those who wish to join the work group. What is expressed in the Manifesto of the project, the aim is to document in a scientific way, coming to build a rational map, the environmental problems in Italy. The intention is not merely a complaint. It will also give voice to positive examples of ecological conversion.

You can send any kind of contribution: video, photographs, drawings and written or spoken texts. Particular attention will be given to the documentation of the past.

Participants will be received a special box with the DVD documentary and a small space in the project web site in which to present them.

To participate in the implementation of eco-film, every environmental reporter can also be presented directly on the site where you can view the papers already submitted and which contribute to the selection.

The film will be launched on June 5th, 2011, World Environment Day. Initially it will be distributed on the Internet circuit, downloaded or streamed, only then will land in cinema and television.

We are curious to see Itali@biente, a collaboration network. We believe that the dissemination of information would be a preferred instrument to achieve positive goals in the environmental field too.
