After a two-months work, i can finally publish my last short documentary: the animated doodle "History of Sicily in one hundred seconds".As the title suggests, it's a fast-run across a pressing and hyper-compact narration.Those who knew little or nothing about the events told, will be surprised by the great number of conflicts, wars, monarchies, dominations, martyrs and crimes that plagued the island in millenniums.I advise to not blink your eyelids as you watch the video: you risk to loose a whole century.Original Italian version here: http://www.salvatorescandurra.com/blog/2008/07/10/storia-della-sicilia-in-cento-secondi/Credits:Script and Animation: Turi Scandurra (http://www.salvatorescandurra.com/)Screenplay: Nino Arcidiacono (http://www.madeinsicilyproduction.it/)Music: Peppe Gullotta (http://www.naxosinmusica.it/)Thanks to Alessandro Sciglio (voice for Italian version)Here's the transcription:One hundred eighty millions years ago Tethys Ocean splits Pangaeamountain ranges rise up among coral reevesit's hotflora, fauna and dwarf elephantsthe volcano Etna grows up by underwater eruptionsthen five thousands years ago in Stentinello the first neolithic civilizationSicanians get overpowered by SicelsPantalica is a necropolis for all the deadphoenician sailorssea urchins and swordfisheshere come the GreeksNaxos and Syracusetheaters carved in rocks or built on a hill like in TaorminaPolyphemus and mermaidsArchimedes and his burning mirrorsScilla and Cariddifirst Punic War with RomeRepublic and Empirecorn and gladiators, then Vandals and OstrogothsByzantines, Arabians and Muslimstuna nets, orange and lemon treesscimitars and sheikswatering and architectureceramics and cassata cakesRoger II and the Normansheritage to SuebiFrederick II and Poetry SchoolCiullo d'Alcamo, the first parliamentAragonese and AngevinsThe Vespers when the French drove us madthen peace of CaltabellottaHouse of Hapsburg and Charles VBourbon dynastyGaribaldi who got injuriedPiedmontese army Carabiniersthe Serval, puppetteersunification of Italythe Messina Earthquakebandits and mafiacoppola and luparaGiovanni Verga and Luigi Pirandelloemigration and First World Warfascismallied landings, Lucky Lucianothe bandit Giuliano and laced coffee (Sicilian style)Placido Rizzotto and Peppino ImpastatoTano Badalamenti and Marlon Brando as the godfatherAndreotti and the mafiathe disappearance of Mauro De Maurothe strange case Mattei and a certain Sindonalots of Christian Democracy and then Socialist PartyPizza ConnectionFalcone and the Maxi Trialthe Corleonesi and Totò Schillaci at World CupBuscetta and Dalla Chiesathe mafia massacres of Capaci and via d'Ameliomoney of Ciancimino, Totò Cuffaro and Raffaele Lombardothe Strait Bridge and Franza ferryboatsand then, many things still have to happenbut in the end the island will be eaten by the sea.
