Alberi centenari.

Tutale di un patrimonio vivente.

2025 - IT - 34' - Documentary

 

Director: Yuri Massaro

Production: SIGOO Communication

Producer and production manager: Giorgio Soncin


Classified as monumental for historical, cultural or botanical reasons, these trees are home to a high level of biodiversity. In addition to being protected by law, scientific interest in these natural monuments has grown over the years, recognising their important naturalistic and cultural value in relation to human-tree coexistence, especially in urban environments where risks are increasing.

 'Alberi centenari' (Century-old Trees) is a nature documentary that explores one of South Tyrol's most important botanical heritage sites, a province where their care and monitoring is entrusted to a special forestry office and a team of passionate arborists. While monumental trees are the protagonists, the factual narrative intertwines the stories of several people who have found their main passion in life and work in trees.

Gastronomia resiliente in Alto Adige.

2022 - IT - 54' - Documentary 

(also available in german)

 

Director: Yuri Massaro

Production: SIGOO Communication

Producer and production manager: Giorgio Soncin


South Tyrolean tradition, scientific research and gastronomic innovation are the main ingredients of this documentary, combined with a personal reflection that explores a healthy and sustainable approach to food. How can we develop a more sustainable gastronomy? What are fermented foods and how did this technique develop? Why are foods treated in this way good and healthy?

In search of answers to these questions, the documentary presents a team of passionate gastronomes and researchers working on these issues, each of whom will provide their own particular point of view. The result is a wide-ranging discussion of sustainability and human and environmental well-being, developed through a simple and clear account of fermentation from a gastronomic, scientific and economic perspective.

Regiokorn, ein nachhaltiges Modell.

During the 20th century, cereal cultivation in South Tyrol gradually disappeared, putting centuries of agricultural and gastronomic tradition at risk.

Imported flour and nutrient-poor white bread meant that it was not only the landscape that changed during this period, but also the population's relationship with local raw materials. In 2011, thanks to the launch of the “Regiograno” project, this trend was reversed, and within a decade, South Tyrolean cereals and flours regained their agricultural and gastronomic importance. The project involves various South Tyrolean stakeholders, from farmers to the Merano Mill and bakers who produce food using local flours. Year after year, the ‘Regiograno’ project is increasingly establishing itself as a sustainable model of circular economy. It is a virtuous example that demonstrates how teamwork and people's determination can give rise to a sustainable economic and productive cycle, in contrast to the logic of the global market.

Comunità energetiche.

2024 - IT/DE - 25' - Documentary 

(also available in italian) 

 

Director: Yuri Massaro

Production: SIGOO Communication

Producer and production manager: Giorgio Soncin


The topic of Renewable Energy Communities (REC) is extremely topical not only in South Tyrol and Italy, but also at European level. These are small communities that organise themselves to produce and share energy from renewable sources locally, aiming for energy self-sufficiency. In South Tyrol, there are several examples of energy companies that, in fact, operate as energy communities ahead of their time. In this context, the Prato allo Stelvio energy company has become a model for study, especially for the development of RECs in Italy.

What ideals shaped the thinking behind the Prato allo Stelvio experience, and what are the technical and social advantages that can be generated in a society that joins an energy community? Furthermore, what potential cultural revolution lies behind the development of these communities?

Through the contribution of a sociologist and several energy development experts, the documentary presents the technical and, above all, social aspects that enable renewable energy communities to have a positive impact on environmental and economic sustainability. 


Le Marcelline,

una proposta pedagogica innovativa.

2022 - IT - 28' - Documentary 

 

Director: Yuri Massaro

Production: SIGOO Communication

Producer and production manager: Giorgio Soncin


A documentary that explores one of the most important educational institutions in South Tyrol.

Through the testimonies of the Sisters, the teaching staff and former pupils, the documentary investigates the educational approach

of the Marcelline Sisters to understand how it has evolved to remain relevant in today's society.

The story is divided into four conceptual blocks: 1) the educational approach; 2) the institute in Bolzano and the Marcelline in South Tyrol; 3) school and religious life before and after the Second Vatican Council; 4) the future of the educational approach. The first block focuses on the presentation of the order and the educational principles that characterise it. The second concerns the institute in Bolzano. Starting from its foundation in 1935, it recounts its evolution over the years. The third section describes how the pedagogical principles are translated into school and boarding school life, before and after the Second Vatican Council. The fourth section concerns digital natives and the future of the pedagogical proposal in relation to the new challenges posed by the web.
