“Se fate i bravi” is a diary of the days between 19 and 21 July 2001 in Genoa. It was the days of a summit between the eight most powerful states on Earth. A few hundred people gathered to decide the fate of the planet and hundreds of thousands of people went to Genoa to peacefully contest that predatory and unjust development model, and propose another. That dream and that protest were met with the most serious suspension of democratic rights in the West since the Second World War, as Amnesty International defined it. This is what happened to the authors and witnesses of the film, who twenty years later felt the need to tell their story. Il film è tutto un lungo racconto, un diario momento per momento, svolto vent’anni dopo da Evandro Fornasier.
As of November 8, 2022, the film has been distributed in 100 theaters throughout Italy. It was selected by FICE (Italian Federation of Arthouse Cinema) in the Racconti Italiani review. “Se fate i bravi” was then selected by Arci in the cinema circuit. Finally, it was included in the AstraDoc review of Naples in the section “Journeys in the cinema of reality”.
“Se fate i bravi” is sponsored by Amnesty International – Italy
