In the year when film's hundred years are being celebrated, experimental film is being celebrated at Monte Olimpino. Bruno Munari and Marcello Piccardo present themselves briefly, and then let the film develop along the lines of the images of the party and the voice over telling the story of the last ten years of filmic work and o the people who did it. Among these people there is a young boy who is a bit curious. He discovers that the great workshop where films are made keeps traces both real and imaginary of all that work. Marcello's closing salutations give the feeling that both the story and the party are over. The video, Film Hill, is a free adaptation of Marcello Piccardo's book of the same name.
