"Addio Dolce casa mia" / "Farewell, my sweet home"

Forty days to tear down the “Green Sail” / “Vela Verde” is the goal reached after thirty-five years of uninterrupted struggle carried out by the Committee –“ Vele di Scampia” .
“Addio Dolce Casa Mia/FAREWELL,MYSWEET HOME” is a documentary that tries to tell what it means to be born and grown up in the “Sails” of Scampia. Our documentary begins on 20 February 2020, when the demolition of the Green Sail was supposed to start. On that day, hundreds journalists reached the site to attend the event, ready to immortalize the fall of the imposing building which has for too long been used as a symbol of “Camorra”.
Farewell, my sweet home… is composed by three stories that intertwine with each other in an elegant and symbolic way. The first story shows numerous children from the “Blue Sail” engaged in the construction of what they call “A casarella”. In the dark and cold garages of the “Blue Sail”, we find a group of laborious children busy in the construction of this magical place, "La casarella", which will become their meeting point, their play area, their tree house.
The second story tells us about Nadia, a seventeen-year-old girl who identifies herself a lot with the “Red Sail” , where she grew up. Nadia explains how difficult it is to be poor, to feel lonely, to be abandoned. At the age of 4, she was abandoned by her mum and, since then, she has been living with her father Savatore. Despite her anger, she describes with extreme maturity her story as well as how she felt on 20 February, when the demolition started.
The third story tells us about Francesco Vinci, a man who, after years of prison, mistakes, and problems with the law, has once again found the strength to stand up. In the nineties, after finding himself on the street one more time, Francesco finally decided to occupy one of the apartments of the “Yellow Sail”, being in desperate need of a house for his wife and newborn son. Today he is a member of the Committee "Vele di Scampia" and he is currently working on the construction site for the demolition of the “Green Sail”. Thanks to this job, he managed to regain some dignity and a pinch of serenity. After many years of suffering and sacrifices, Francesco and his sweet wife Carmela have only one dream: to have their own house.

Centootto (One Hundred and Eight)

On the far western shores of Sicily, separated from Tunisia by just under two hundred kilometers, Mazara del Vallo is a town historically, inextricably linked to fishing. Although no longer enjoying the glory of the “golden years,” the fishing community continues its hunt for red shrimp in the deep seabeds of the Mediterranean Sea, close to the Libyan, Tunisian, Cypriot and Turkish coasts. Each fishing trip lasts about 40 days, punctuated by a few days of rest on the mainland, when many families and loved ones come together to celebrate these quieter moments. But this routine is upset by a shocking event: on September 1st, 2020 the crew of two fishing boats, carrying 18 people in total, are hijacked off the coast of Libya and held in the stronghold of General Khalifa Haftar. They would eventually be released on December 17, 2020, after 108 days of imprisonment. “Centootto” (One Hundred and Eight) recounts this story by members of the crew of the Medinea, one of the two vessels seized, touching also upon the experiences of those onshore who waited and worked to make it possible for their loved ones to return. “Centootto” is the story of Marco, Piero, M’hammad (called Franco), Onofrio (called Nuccio), Rosetta, Rosaria, Naoires and Monica—and the story of a community that resists.

WE CANNOT LIVE UNDER THAT FLAG WE CANNOT LIVE UNDER THAT FLAG

WE CANNOT LIVE UNDER THAT FLAG

A poche settimane dal suo travagliato arrivo in Italia un gruppo di rifugiati afghani racconta dello spaesamento e delle difficoltà affrontate nel dover cambiare vita così in fretta abbandonando la propria terra e i propri affetti. Gli intervistati, nel buio di un teatro, cercano di lasciarsi andare di fronte alla macchina da presa e di aprirsi per parlare senza filtri della loro terra e di un periodo che non potranno dimenticare mai.
