Terra Incognita – Documentary short film – 2019 – 30 min.
Across Europe, refugees are placed in abandoned villages to combat rural depopulation. But how do people make a home in a place others choose to leave? Terra Incognita is part of an artistic research project in Valle di Comino – a valley hidden between Rome and Napels. The film shows a world of confusion, where few things make sense, and one can only expect the unexpected – an impossible task. Meet Amadou, Gigino, Thompson, little Baraa and many more in this mosaic film that offers a glimpse into an absurd reality. Quirky, emotional and humorous – just as human life.
