River Memories
Open Roads: New Italian Cinema 2016
June 2 - 8, 2016
Along a river in Turin, over 1,000 people live in a sprawling makeshift shantytown, a multiethnic melting pot slated to be razed by the government. This strikingly shot vérité documentary captures the last days of a vibrant community and is an elegiac record of a vanishing way of life.
Along a river in Turin, over 1,000 people live in a sprawling makeshift shantytown, a vibrant multiethnic melting pot slated to be razed by the government.
