16 millimetri alla rivoluzione

Overview

Navigating freely among the images produced for the Italian Communist Party between the 1950s and the '80s by important Italian directors, and after encountering the gaze of Luciana Castellina, the legendary communist politician and a founder of the “Manifesto,” a woman who has never been orthodox and still today is a tireless organizer, Giovanni Piperno ponders the significance of the “party-giraffe” - as Togliatti once defined it – and, above all, what still remains of an experience that involved millions of people in an attempt to transform themselves and the world.

Directed by Giovanni Piperno
