Reportages, documentaries, short movies and interviews with members of the community, represent the storyboard for the construction of a historical memory of places and their social and cultural life.
The point of the ‘moving-cinema’ is bartering: great stories told through film in exchange for short stories told by people and places. Cinefabrica investigates realities, collecting and documenting them in order to recount its journeys through a logbook made of pictures, videos, music and texts. A trip through cultures and people. A trip in the present and across memory.
