COLLATERAL EVENTS
SCENOGRAPHY
For the 17th edition of the festival, a group of young volunteers created a beautiful work on scenography. This set design aims to share the team’s visions on the theme of roots: through their work, they wish to stimulate and awaken the spectators’ imagination before immersing them in the Faito Doc film experience. Participating in the exhibition: Maïlys Finocchiaro, Nell Ahrend, Lucie Toussaint, Philippe Andrejevic, Laila Bohnenberger, Bartek Mathieu-Daudé, Dante Finocchiaro, Thomas Leandre Caruso, Celeste de Martino, Enrica Scaramella, Johan Badibengi, Liliane Sanchez, Joël Coppens, Carmine Somma. The photographs on display are the work of the official Faito Doc photographer Magdalena Mądra in collaboration with Alessio Lucchisani.

SENSORY DINNER
THE FAITO DOC PITCHING
The Faito Doc Festival pitching is a week-long journey that accompanies authors in the birth of documentary projects, supporting those who have not yet found favour with the industry or institutions. Imagining a ‘pitching that gives wings’, we want authors to leave our mountain with constructive enthusiasm, ready to follow the right path to tell their stories with lightness, depth and good humour. Our main allies are Sabam and Scam, both of which are multidisciplinary in nature and support a rich variety of authors and creatives.
- Adèle Funès – ‘La montagne ne rigole pas’ (FR)
- Serena Vittorini – ‘Il processo’ (IT)
- Maria Hermosillo – ‘Feité’ (BE/MEX)
- Simone Vacca – ‘Fabbriche di Memoria’ (IT)
- Jacques Sorrentini Zibjan – ‘Volgar Eloquio’ (FR)
FAITO GIOVANI

CLOSING EVENING
– STUDY OF DRUM DANCING – Organised by Gabriele Caracciolo, Anna Perrotta and Andrea Gagliardi

MEETINGS WITH AUTHORS AND DIRECTORS
The directors of the selected works are invited, at the organisation’s expense, to present their films to the public. Before and after the screenings, spectators have the opportunity to meet and talk with the authors, directors or producers of the work and also with some of the protagonists.
