Film Details
Nero Argento
Directed by Francesco Manzato, “Nero Argento” is a 20-minute Italian short film. The story revolves around a group of graffiti artist friends – Lucas, Letizia, Giovanni, and Federico – who find refuge in a secret spot nestled in the woods near the train tracks. Despite their friendship and connection to this safe space, Lucas senses a disturbing presence in the forest that seems to elude the awareness of his companions.
Little Jaffna
In contrast to the previous short, “Little Jaffna,” directed by Lawrence Valin, is a 100-minute French feature film. Set in the Parisian neighborhood of the same name, renowned for its vibrant Tamil community, it follows the story of Michael, a young police officer tasked with infiltrating a criminal organization involved in extortion and money laundering on behalf of Sri Lankan rebels. The plot unfolds around the moral challenges he faces as he navigates the complexities of the criminal organization.
Event Organization
The film series is promoted by the Alto Garda and Ledro Valley Community in collaboration with neighboring municipalities such as Arco, Drena, Ledro, Nago-Torbole, and Tenno. The artistic direction is managed by the Trentino Theatre Coordination.
