Giorgio de Finis presented the film Space Metropoliz in the UNIDEE space.
Metropoliz is an abandoned ex-salami factory in the outskirts of Rome. It is occupied by a diverse group of inhabitants; Italians, Tunisians, Peruvians, Ukrainians, Africans and Romany gypsies, who have fixed it up and made it their home.
The film by Fabrizio Boni and Giorgio de Finis documents their collaboration along with the citizens of Metropoliz, and many others, see trailer here.
“The project Space Metropoliz began from the wish to use cinema asm a tool for gathering creative ideas and for transforming the territory, and to contribute towards the socio environmental regeneration of Metropoliz, an abandoned ex factory where 200 people currently now live. Cinema becomes a device with which we can enter inside Metropoliz and tell its stories, dreams and ambitions, but it is also a tool to make projects and realise them together with the inhabitants of the factory and the area a new space to share and live together”. translation of metropolis website
