Sons of No-One

SINOPSI

Starting from the discovery of a propaganda film from 1927, L’Estate Silana, made when King Victor Emmanuel III visited Calabria, the film Sons of No-one focuses on the unused fragments in the film, and digs into the edges of the shots pointing a finger at how history, and cinema, is staged.

The texts, from the book Calabria grande e amara by Leonida Repaci, seek in these reels what propaganda excluded and deliberately kept in the side-lines.

Sons of No-one is a short film made during a workshop conducted by Gaetano Crivaro and Margherita Pisano for The Memories Film Fest, organized by the Cineteca della Calabria Association.
