- Synopsis:
"Nascondino" or "Hide and Seek" is the debut feature documentary from director Victoria Fiore, developed from 2017 short film 'Fire Games of Naples', that, through the eyes of a young boy called Entoni and his grandmother, Dora, gets under the surface of the recent Italian government policy to remove young children from families connected with organised crime in Naples. What makes the film stand out is its approach, which flips the perspective to tell these people's stories in their own voices in order to counter the glamorisation and trivialisation of violence in their communities as depicted in recent TV series and films set in the region. Equally transfixing and heart-wrenching, this raw yet poetic, beautifully and painstakingly shot doc puts into stark contrast the freedom and innocence its streetwise young protagonist should be enjoying with the constant threat and brutal reality of his surroundings in a profound and affecting way. - Actors:
