LA GUERRA DEI CAFONI
Presentato nella sezione Italia Film Fest del Bif&st 2017, il film, è la trasposizione cinematografica del romanzo di Carlo D’Amicis pubblicato da Minimum Fax. Prima produzione cinematografica della Minimum fax media, La Guerra dei cafoni, è una favola ironica e spietata sul concetto di lotta tra Bene e Male con un cast di giovani (non) attori irresistibili.
A Torrematta, territorio selvaggio e sconfinato in cui non vi e` traccia di adulti se si esclude il gestore di un capanno-bar, ogni estate si combatte una lotta tra bande: da una parte i figli dei ricchi, i signori, e dall’altra i figli della terra, i cafoni. A capo dei rispettivi schieramenti si fronteggiano il fascinoso Francisco Marinho e il cupo Scaleno. Si combattono dalla culla, trascinando nel conflitto di classe i propri “soldati”.
