A BENCH AT THE FAVAROLO QUAY
Art installation by Elena Valle
AMERICAN MARRIAGE by Giorgio Arcelli Fontana (USA, 2018, 14' 45'')
Leonardo, an Italian immigrant living in New York, marries a Latina woman, Nikki, in order to obtain an American green card. Through the comedy of it all Nikki and Leo fall in love 'for real', but it seems that 'Uncle Sam' will be the only one to have the last laugh.
KVARA, a story of love and football by Raffaele Iardino (Italy, 2023, 11'06'')
A young street vendor from Sri Lanka, while working during the celebrations for Napoli's Scudetto, receives a phone call that will disrupt his evening. From then on, Kamal's attempts to reach the person who called him will fail one after the other in the chaotic frenzy of the city in celebration. The film's finale opens a reflection on one of the most burning issues of our time.
IUS MARIS by Vincenzo D'arpe (Italy, 2018, 15')
The short film tells the story of Yassine, a young man born and raised in Lecce by Moroccan parents who live, like all second-generation children, straddling two cultures, never supported by true integration. Through the sea and surfing, however, the integration process will become a reality, Yassine will become a teacher in a surf camp, attended by people of all races and religions.
TULIPE by Andrea di Cicco (Italy, 2018, 14'59')
Valeria is a lonely woman. Widowed for five years, to keep herself busy she attends church and does voluntary work. Valeria has a son who, however, only visits her to have his clothes washed or leave his dog with her. During a social lunch Valeria meets Tulipe, a distinguished gentleman of Somali origin. When Valeria's son finds out about their union the conflict is inevitable.
DENT DE LLEÓ by Jorge Bellver (Spain, 2015, 6'54'')
The wind has no boundaries, dreams have no limits. The flight of a dandelion from the heart of Africa to our shores symbolises future hope for millions of people in a globalised world.
Ours is a network work with:
Ecummè Commission, Cooperativa Impresa Sociale Ruah, IFF - Integrazione Film Festival, Adasm Fism Bergamo, Abbazia San Paolo d'Argon, with the contribution of the 8x1000 of the Catholic Church
