AUSONIA (1946-1961)

GIULIA CAMBA ELISA MELONI

2019 Italy EXP 9 '

Ausonia is a forgotten place, a part of Cagliari’s history of which no material evidence remains. The stories of the displaced people who inhabited it in the post-war period turn into visual suggestions, recalling the way in which memory gaps are naturally filled with fantasy, which mixes with reality. An experimental short film in which intimate dimension and collective past blend together in a dreamlike suspension. Ausonia is a travel across history and imagination.
