MY MARLBORO CITY
Italy 2010 – Director: Valentina Pedicini – Original language: Italian – Length: 50 min.
“When I close my eyes and search for my childhood memories I see fog - dense but sweet fog.” Director, Valentina Pedicini, sets off on an investigation of her childhood town, Brindisi in Apulia – a place that gained notoriety in the 90s from cigarette smuggling. Today the Italian coastal city is a trafficking hub for weapons and drugs. The mafia controls the operations and unemployment is steadily rising.
Four people, four generations in one place. MY MARLBORO CITY is a poetic and personal film that lifts the fog of the past and lets the people speak of their city. Katrin John
