The film tells the transformation Cinecitt\u00e0 went through in the years between 1943 and 1950, as it\u00a0experienced the Nazi occupation, the creation of a refugee camp run by the Allies and finally\u00a0the re-birth of the so-called \u201cHollywood on river Tiber\u201d.<\/p>\n
After it had been a concentration camp for nine hundred men who had been caught in the nearby\u00a0Quadraro quarter, on October 16, 1943, Cinecitt\u00e0 was plundered by Nazis and 16 wagons left Rome for Germany and Sal\u00f2 Republic. In January, 1944, the studios were bombed by Allies \u2013 it was one of the about fifty bombings Rome suffered.<\/p>\n
On June 6, 1944 the \u201ccity of cinema\u201d was requisitioned by Allied Control Commission to house thousands of war refugees. A modernistic movie complex, though profoundly bombed out, was soon transformed into a refugee camp: Italian homeless on one side, an international field on the other \u2013 trespass being strictly forbidden. Cinecitt\u00e0 was the destination for people coming from everywhere: the sons and daughters of Italian colonists in Libia, the displaced people of Rome and Monte Cassino\u2019s bombings, the exiled people of Dalmatia, several Jews who had been interned or imprisoned in German lagers.<\/p>\n
We want to follow those very refugees walking in nowadays Cinecitt\u00e0, letting their story emerge as they move along today\u2019s studios and reality shows\u2019 sets.<\/p>\n
More than 60 years later, the purpose of this film is to unearth memories, in order to tell about an unknown page of our history and cinema.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
