Walking on water

About This Movie

Walking on Water is a haunting exploration of the 1966 flood in Florence, uniquely told through Beppe Fantacci's lens. The film captures not just the disaster but the resilience of artisans struggling to rebuild. The atmosphere is heavy yet filled with a strange beauty, blending desperation with bursts of creativity. The use of unreleased 16 mm color footage gives it this raw, almost nostalgic texture that's hard to shake off. The pacing is reflective, allowing the viewer to linger on the faces and stories of those affected. What stands out is the way it honors craft – both in the artistry of the subjects and the filmmaking itself. It's a poignant reminder of how art can survive even the harshest of calamities.
