The short film

Finding yourself where the soul feels free.

CinemaLab is shooting «Ni scialamu», an independent short film. It was born from a group of young people with a simple, big wish: to build something important, together, starting from our land.

With this project CinemaLab opens the door to making independent short films and to castings for opportunities beyond CinemaLab as well.

The set is Torre Sant'Antonio in Santa Caterina dello Ionio: a place by the sea that already tells part of a film on its own.

«When the world falls silent, a light rises again from the shadows»: this is the promise we open the project with. The rest, you will discover by watching it.

Fundraiser

Even €5 makes a difference

We are a group of young people who want to build something important, starting from Calabria. «Ni scialamu» needs a community that believes in it.

For you it is five euros, the price of a coffee with a friend. For us it is one more piece of the film. If many of us do a small thing, the film gets made.
