Eleven young people, ten days and ten nights in an ancient deconsecrated church, with one goal: to create a free radio station to make their voices heard. This is the experience behind E se ora, lontano – un’altra voce esiste, the documentary directed by Massimo Selis, screening on Wednesday 14 October at 9pm at Cinema Concordia.
The evening will also include a meeting with the filmmakers and the young protagonists, who will talk about how the project came about and engage in dialogue with the audience.
The film brings to the screen the doubts, hopes and questions of Generation Z, tackling themes ranging from politics to technology, from the need for genuine relationships to the search for spirituality.
Set in the Umbrian hills above Lake Trasimeno, the documentary follows a group of twenty-somethings learning to live together, confront one another and share experiences, far from the rhythms of everyday life.
Two perspectives intertwine throughout: that of the director, through static, contemplative shots, and that of the young people themselves, who use their smartphones to recount their own experience directly.
Produced by Phausania Film, under the patronage of the Municipality of Perugia, the documentary was written by Massimo Selis together with Belinda Bruni. The original soundtrack is by Fabio Di Viesto, alongside music composed and performed by the protagonists themselves.
A story aimed not only at young people but also at parents, teachers and educators, with the goal of opening a dialogue between generations and giving space to thoughts and sensitivities that often struggle to be heard.
