The Social Project- Italy

Polizzi Generosa, Sicily, Italy.

Establishing a film community in Polizzi Generosa provides a platform for addressing critical themes of heritage, continuity, and the impact of emigration. This town, like many across Europe, faces the threat of declining populations and an aging demographic. By creating a space for storytelling, we connect generations, allowing older residents to share their knowledge, memories, and culture with younger ones. Through cinema, Polizzi Generosa can spotlight its unique character and rich traditions, offering viewers worldwide a glimpse into the importance of sustaining rural communities. This project gives voice to those who remain and honors the resilience of towns that bridge past and future, sustaining community life "from the roots to the horizon."
