Punta Sacra with Francesca Mazzoleni

We continue to highlight films from the Krakow International Film Festival, featuring a conversation with Francesca Mazzoleni about her documentary film, PUNTA SACRA (2020), a sensitive documentary that focuses on a tight community living in illegal houses on the last triangle of habitable space at the mouth of the Tiber. Its inhabitants call it Punta Sacra, which translates to Sacred Point. Here, we are introduced to a strong, women-centered community resisting the forces of nature and the ever-existing threat of eviction. The film has a nostalgic feel and is built around themes of resistance, resilience, and sisterhood. Yvonne Nouwen moderates the conversation. For show notes, visit docsinorbit.com and be sure to follow us on social media @docsinorbit
