MIRAGE A L’ITALIENNE by Alessandra Celesia, France 2013, 90’
“Are you looking for a job? Alaska is waiting for you”. The fates of five Italians intertwine thanks to this advert, which appeared in Turin during the economic crisis. They share the same need: to leave and go as far as they can. Lost in Yakutat, a no man’s land where time seems to have stopped, these men and women make an interior journey together. A true adventure of friendship and solidarity showing how to live in spite of everything.
LA STRADA DI CASA by Goffredo d’Onofrio and Carolina Lucchesini, Italy 2014, 7’
Every year, 14.000 graduates leave Italy. Only one third of them will ever return to our country. From Turin to Naples, passing through Stockholm, the film narrates the stories of Paolo, Vincenzo and Serena, who decided to challenge the statistics regarding the “brain drain”. These three “brains” are on their way home, which is taking them back to Italy.
