Save the date, SAFARI by
@leobalestrieri will have its National Premiere at
@alicenellacitta Wednesday 18 October at Auditorium della Conciliazione, Roma, 18:30 p.m.!
Inspired by real violence against LGBT+ people, Safari follows Elia, a member of a “hunting” group, grappling with self-suppression.
Emerging from this annihilation will be lacerating, but ineludible.
“I knew that this was going to be a story that unfortunately we can also come across outside a cinema. That’s why it’s still important to tell: this violence is one of the reasons people hide. Safari is the struggle of an individual that reaches the bottom and finds a crossroad: self-acceptance or chocking on his own violence. But not everyone has enough courage or access to this freedom, and without a healthy and nondiscriminatory environment, even when something good comes our way, sometimes we are perhaps not ready to catch it even if we crave it.”
