It’s not the story that matters, it’s how you tell it.
We live in a visual society, rich and overflowing with images. We are not interested in commercial cinema. If everyone watches it, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is of quality.
Seeing the world means knowing it, understanding it and interacting with it. Understanding how we represent ourselves and the world around us through images can help us to better understand who we are and how we want to be.
To make a different and authentic cinema, we believe it is essential for people to meet each other, and create a community of gazes that can decode and look at the world together, everyone in their unique way.

A unique moment to return to the theatres, with directors and authors of Italian independent cinema.
