11th International Children's Film Festival Bangladesh 2018
The Children's Republic
La repubblica dei bambini (Italian)
Italy | 19 | Comedy | 2015 | Documentary Film | Italian
Province of Teramo, southern Italy; three locations, three schools. Elders transmit knowledge to children and the children they return with their words filtered by their clear sensitivity: there are those who have learned their lesson, those who give it a free interpretation, who teaches us something. The great steps of the Italian Republic in the last century - and the differences between the society of that time and the one of today - seen through the spontaneous fantasy of childhood with the guidance of the "elders": a library director, a historian and a trade unionist.
Original Language
Provincia di Teramo, Italia meridionale; tre località, tre scuole. Gli anziani trasmettono il sapere ai bambini e i bambini ce lo restituiscono con le loro parole filtrate dalla loro candida sensibilità: c’è chi ha imparato la lezione, chi ne da una libera interpretazione, chi ci insegna qualcosa. Le grandi tappe della repubblica e del popolo italiano nel secolo scorso - e le differenze tra la società di allora e quella odierna - viste attraverso la spontanea fantasia dell’infanzia con la guida dei “grandi”: un direttore di biblioteca, uno storico ed un sindacalista.
