“Alba delle Janas” is a short film produced and shot entirely in Sardinia by the cultural association Muvis and by Renderingstudio. It was made using most recent shooting and 3D animation techniques combined with absolute philological rigour. The film’s strength is to inform while entertaining.
The film narrates the story of Alba, a young archaeologist; it talks about her passion for her job and about the love for her land. While out on a scientific excursion, Alba comes into contact with the creatures of the fantastic world of Sardinian legends and tales. She travels through time and is drawn into a surreal and magical experience that allows her to live a unique adventure. Alba’s adventure leads to a highly fascinating and uncommon portrait of Sardinian culture, which interlaces the oral tradition of legends with the scientific knowledge about Sardinian prehistory.
