Florence November 3rd - 10th 2018

International documentary film festival

THE QUEEN OF CASETTA

Directed by: Francesco Fei (Italia, 2018, 79')


Gregoria is the only little girl living in Casetta di Tiara, a village in the middle of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines that counts only 10 inhabitants. This is her last year there: in September, she will have to move downstream to attend high school. The film itself will end on that day. The story describes one year spent with her in this isolated area of the Apennines, still echoing the verses of poet Dino Campana who used to come over often. The passage of the seasons, the natural rituals, gathering chestnuts, hunting wild boars, snow in winter – all this accompanies the days of Gregoria, her parents, and people from the same town.


Saturday, Novembre 3rd, La Compagnia, 4:30pm
