A Blast

riff — Fri, 08 May 2015 22:20:03 +0000

Maria is running away on the highway. She is alone on her roaring SUV. Behind her, the fire and a case full of money, and before, the hopeless vastness of the motorway. Until the day before, she had been a caring mother, a loving wife, a responsible daughter. Today she has gone rogue.

Quando non suona la campana (When the school bell doesn’t ring, the drop out in Naples and Palermo)

riff — Fri, 08 May 2015 17:20:07 +0000

The documentary tells the problem of school dropout in Naples and Palermo, two symbolic cities, rich of culture in every alley, but also robbed of possibilities, with districts where the school is a luxury, a meaningless institution to ignore. Many are the reported interviews with teachers, social workers, young students, headteachers, syndacalists and with the Minister of Education, and also with adults who live on their skin the consequences of not giving space to the school. They tell moments lived on the street and stories of classrooms that try to resist in places where the phenomenon is very high. Some cartoon help to analyze the issue of dispersion in Italy.
