A Ciambra (2017)
Pio is a 14-year-old tough guy, who is stradling adolescence and adulthood, in this frank portrayal of a young man and his Romani family in Calabria. With a focus on Pio, we enter the lives of a family that sells scrap metal to the mob and when Pio’s father and older brother, whom he idolizes, are jailed, Pio has a chance to prove himself. Using non-professional actors playing fictionalized versions of themselves, filmmaker Jonas Carpignano shoots much of the film at close range, on film, giving an intimate immediacy to this coming of age story. This film was selected by filmmaker Jarreau Carrillo to play with his short, The Vacation.
DCP, color, 118 min. Director: Jonas Carpignano. Writer: Jonas Carpignano. With: Pio Amato, Koudous Seihon, Iolanda Amato.
