Exquisitely shot on 16mm film, Memory Is an Animal, It Barks with Many Mouths takes us to Val Gardena, a region where the Rhaeto-Romance language Ladin is spoken by a minority. Through the eyes of a child, the film delves into the specific, hidden and vast geology of the Dolomite mountains. Children reimagine ancient Ladin legends while examining water, holes and caves, looking for something forgotten. The resonances of place, magic and myth unfold through play.
