TALÈ Palermo
La Bandita presents five short films born through a participatory writing method: the participants and the protagonists compare their looks, their memories and their feelings in a group dialogue and rework them drawing inspiration from the place where they live (a seaside city, your school, your home, your dreams). The setting of all the films is Palermo, a city where suffocated nature resurfaces imposingly to console, soothe, listen, but sometimes also frighten its inhabitants or visitors. The energy of the city allows the authors and the protagonists to bring out their feelings and their sensations: friendship, the uncertainty of their future, the desire for freedom and to express their imagination. The stories are also the testimony of an era, the living memory of people who react with their imagination to discrimination and ecological crises. They are examples that show a way to sew interpersonal bonds and understand our present.
