Snowfood, produced by Turin Sports International Film Festival in cooperation with Stream TV, is a series of 30 episodes talking about mountain and sport: events, realities, landscapes, people, history, objects, materials.The original idea was to play with essential, simple and pure elements: an image, a voice and their lenght in the brevity.

There are few camera movements, as well as camera effects, noone of the carachters commenting upon the photo appears on screen but Dmitri Nabokov, reflected in the big portrait of his father Vladimir (every hard rule has its own exception) The play of "telling something else" is internal to the relationship between photo, video and the person who is speaking. Pratically the photo is invaded, probed, outflanked and cut up by the camera, a speaking voice over (the voice of someone, a body filmed and then put in the shadow: all the commnts have been also filmed not only audio-recorded) and at the end the discovery of the name of the person who was commenting the photo.

This is a play which has its own reverse: the photo reveals the person and the person reveals the photo. Sports champions and mayors, mountain climbers and instructors, contractos and photographers, TV stars and pastors, directors and actors, musicians and critics, dee jays, journalists and prelates: all protagonists of the Italian life

At the end, in their different visions, all these comments compose a very complex mosaic of History and stories, remembers and comments at the edge of medialogic reflection, reality and mythes, minimalism and humour, sports adventures and work, tragic events and chronicles of our habits. The series has been curated by Gainni Volpi and Gian Paolo Ormezzano and realized by directors Vittoria Castagneto, Enrico Verra and Marco Pozzi and by director of production Lia Furxhi, all youngs and already involved in some of the most beautiful cinema and TV Italian productions.
