Lotta di Classe - Il cinema dei ragazzi di Emilio Sidoti

Lotta di Classe - Il cinema dei ragazzi di Emilio Sidoti 2021 Directed by Demetrio Giacomelli

During the late 1960s, Emilio Sidoti, an elementary school teacher in Albisola, decided to make some movies with his students in order to develop their critical gaze in a free and radical expressive pathway. This was the start of “Cinema dei ragazzi,” Italy's first experience of “school and cinema;” it generated over twenty movies, all shot in Super8, and most of them were entirely written, directed, and edited by the children. Starting with the material of the time, this unique experience is put into relation with the present time, as the children of back then - who today are adults - are asked to recount the impression it left on them.
