Project update
Cinema
Ex Manifattura del tabacco
Posted by Roberto Di Mola
Why do you participate in Artists@Work? What do you expect from this experience?

Since I started to read the description of the project I thought that it could fit well to me in my contemporary situation. And that's right: I 've got the big chance to meet estimated filmmakers and pros to talk about my ideas of telling stories and, of course, filming them. I really hope I'll grow up in my skills starting with this experience.



Explain the main thematics of your project

The main theme of my project is "suburbs", the ones of the city where I live, Bologna. Above all I'm fascinated by a huge and abandoned building raised in the place where - a long time ago - stood the city's bound : the former "manifattura dei tabacchi", designed by the italian architect Pier Luigi Nervi, that wanted to be an avant-garde industrial and architectural center, but that, at the end, became just a ruin from the past, by all means, a "ghost".



Explain the different stages of production of your work

At the moment I'm trying to come into contact with different boureax for permits to enter and film for a couple of minutes in the aerea. This is a very difficult process because I'm dealing with something, or someone, much bigger than me: there are a lot of interests and business on the building that makes everything harder



Explain the choice of the title

I haven't got a title yet. Will work on it! ;)
