Life of a Mutt

Through seven scenes, the film follows the life and destinies of stray dogs from the margins of our society, leading us to reconsider our attitude towards them. Through the seven “wandering” characters that we follow at different ages, from birth to old age, we witness their dignified struggle for survival. At the cemetery, in an abandoned factory, in an asylum, in a landfill, in places full of sorrow, our heroes search for love and togetherness. By combining documentary material, animation and acting interpretation of the thoughts of our heroes, we get to know lives between disappointment and hope, quite similar to ours.

L'albero storpio

La pellicola in Super 8, recuperata e digitalizzata dal Laboratorio Multimediale di Ateneo, ha una durata di circa cinquanta minuti e racconta in modo molto efficace e non retorico il passaggio dalla istituzione manicomiale, intesa come luogo di costrizione deputato al “mantenimento dell’ordine sociale”, all’apertura dei centri di igiene mentale e delle case-famiglia, luoghi di cura e di presa in carica del malato. In particolare, il documentario racconta l’esperienza di una piccola comunità in una frazione del Comune di Lamporecchio-Orbignano, in cui alcuni ex degenti dell’ospedale psichiatrico di Pistoia sono stati accolti per tre mesi, prima di essere avviati ai servizi sul territorio. In pratica, con la collaborazione degli enti locali e di comitati cittadini, fu creata una “comunità protetta”, cioè una struttura intermedia tra ospedale e casa-famiglia, in cui gli ospiti potevano gradualmente acquisire autonomia e imparare ad autogestirsi.
