【Film Info】 "Terraferma"
(C) Zentropa Entertainments 16
On a tiny Sicilian island inhabited by fisherman, the islanders have begun to alter their mentality and behavior as they realize the economic potential of the growing tourism industry. Their new mentality does not, however, prepare them on how to deal with the African asylum seekers who have recently arrived.
Timnit T, who plays the role of a refugee woman in the film, is herself a refugee from the Horn of Africa. The actress undertook the dangerous crossing from Libya several years ago and was lucky to survive. The dinghy on which she was sailing drifted at sea for 21 days. Of the more than 70 people on board, only five were found alive.
"Terraferma" won the 2011 Venice Film Festival Special Jury Award and was the Italian submission for the 2012 Academy Awards' Best Foreign Language Film.
