Alessia Foraggio

Talia Project is a collective of independent documentary filmmakers founded in 2018 by former students of the Italian National Film School: Alessia Foraggio, Giacomo Fausti, Filippo Gobbato, Paolo Rosi e Claudio Selicato.

“Notes from CARA” (ITA, 2019) is the first documentary short made by the collective. The film began as a collaboration with the Academy Award-winning director Laura Poitras (Citizenfour, Risk) and the video-journalism unit Field of Vision.

Notes from CARA

Sicily, summer. A wall of barbed wire separates the biggest refugee camp in Europe from a deserted, unwelcoming hinterland. The camp is the CARA of Mineo. Here migrants are blocked in endless waits, with their lives dotted with dreamy, absurd, even comical situations.
