Cinemambulante – Kino Guarimba

Kino Guarimba is part of Cinemambulante, a cultural integration festival in Calabria (southern Italy) organised by La Guarimba. The fourth edition will be taking place in Amantea (Cs) from June 10^th to the 21^st 2019.

Amantea is located in the tyrrenian coast of Calabria, a beautiful and not so well-known region in southern Italy. The 12000 inhabitants town houses 300 refugees that are involved in this project.

In order to create a variety of positive impacts on the region we have divided Cinemambulante into three parts: an itinerant film screening programme, a street art project and Kino Guarimba. The participants will experience social lunches, calalabrian/african folk concerts and a unique insight into our traditions.

A 12 days Cinema Residency in southern Italy where a group of international creatives who don’t know each other get together to write, shoot, edit and screen short films.

Calabria is a melting pot of cultures from Ancient Greek to Modern Italian, including Arbërëshë, Albanese, Subsaharian African and Latin American cultures. In the region you will find dialects, folk music and dances, catholic and pagan rituals, culinary expressions, the mountain and the sea among farmers and fishermen.

This call is open to anyone, from Italy and beyond, who has already turned 18 at the time of their submission.

We are on the lookout for filmmakers, technical crew and actors willing to learn and interact with others, to get stuck in even when communication becomes complicated.
