After Il grande bianco. Trascendenza della Grande Guerra and after Guerra nostra, the third chapter of the Trilogia della Grande Guerra by Roberto Paci Dalò is represented by Fronti. The work is created from rare images shot on the Eastern alpine front line during the first war; it is a cinematographic work that shows the feeling of suspense of the trench war.
Fronti is based on the same materials used by Roberto Paci Dalò for the creation of Guerra Nostra. These filmic materials, kept in the Archives of Home Movies – National Archives of Family Films, constitute an important historical testimony of the First World War. Fronti does not focus on the documentary aspect of the conflict, but reveals the expectation, stasis and metaphysical silence of the trench warfare. The music of the soundtrack, for clarinet, alpine choir and live electonics, is a lively counterpoint to the black and white images of the film.
