San Giorgio Maggiore

*PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SCREENING IS TAKING PLACE IN THE ABBAZIA AS PART OF THE MAJLIS EXHIBITION, NOT IN THE CHURCH ITSELF*This special screening of the award-winning documentary &#x27;The Stone Carvers&#x27; (1985) is shown as part of the Majlis Symposium organised by Caravane Earth. Director and producer Marjorie Hunt of The Smithsonian Institution will be present for a Q&amp;A after the screening. --------------The Stone Carvers (1985), directed and produced by `Marjorie Hunt and Paul Wagner, captures the work and infectious spirit of a small group of Italian-American artisans who have spent their lives carving designs on the Washington Cathedral, a gothic monument begun in 1907.Most American workers make a product and never see it again, but the stone carvers can point to their work with pride. Fine ornamental stone carving has been a respected tradition for generations of Italian craftsmen. Only a few practitioners of this delicate and demanding art remain active today. While the world and architectural styles have changed around them, they have preserved an artistic and cultural heritage that has enriched centuries of Western Civilization.The Stone Carvers focuses on an informal reunion of carvers now retired from the cathedral job. Sharing food and friendship, they relate memories of their own apprenticeships to the great masters of Italy. These men personify the timeless dignity, humor and strength of good craftsmanship and their work stands as a monument to their great craft. As master carver Vincent Palumbo says, &quot;It&#x27;s not work, it&#x27;s a way of living.&quot; Anyone who has ever stopped to ponder the grace of a stone statue or the humor of a gargoyle will delight in how the stone carvers bring inanimate rock to life.
