The Venetian Dilemma Director: Richard Rifkind
Running Time: 73 minutes
USA 2004
‘Venice is sinking’ is something we have all heard before, but that crisis is not the only one that threatens the survival of this most beloved of cities. Unlike the 14 million visitors to Venice each year, the average Venetian’s experience of daily life is far from rosy. Against the city’s familiar backdrops, another tale emerges as we watch the environmentalist, the fruit and vegetable vendor, and the feisty Michela battle it out with City Hall.
