  • Filippo Foscarini and Federico Cammarata in conversation with Clio Nicastro

Sicily, 2020. In a godforsaken landscape, a sudden change in weather finally marks the end of a suffocating summer. A group of horses stands in the shade. A city has gone up in flames. TARDO AGOSTO is a journey through Sicily from the coast to the hinterland along the trail of a raging fire that burns and destroys everything in its path. This is accompanied by the personal story of a young Gambian shepherd who has migrated to Italy and assisted the birth of his daughter in Africa from a great distance. The documentary TARDO AGOSTO dives deep into the landscapes of a scarred island.  

Filippo Foscarini is a currently a guest of the residency program at the Harun Farocki Institut with support of the German-French Cultural Institute Kultur Ensemble (Goethe-Institut/Institut français, Palermo). (Clio Nicastro)
