To cure the exhibition is Silvia Camporesi, who guides the public in the heart of the itinerant project of Cinemovel Foundationborn to bring I captain Directly in the squares, schools and villages of Senegal, places where the film has its roots. On board a real “traveling cinema”, the crew crossed the country in 2024, accompanied by the protagonists and cultural mediators, transforming each projection into a moment of comparison, memory and community.
Through the intense photographs of Niccolò Boat and Andrea Fiumana, and the videos edited by Thomas Pilani, the exhibition documents this extraordinary journey: the waiting of the public, the reactions during the film, the heated debates, the setting up of the spaces, the magic of a screen that lights emotions and reflections.
