I FANTASISTI - LE VERE STORIE DEL CALCIO NAPOLI

VARIETY ARTISTS - THE TRUE STORIES OF NAPOLI FOOTBALL CLUB

Country: Italy
Year: 2000
Duration: 63'


Fifty years of Napoli Football Club as told by unpublished stories and narrated by the voice of Fabio, a boy who lives in the Sanit` neighborhood of Naples. Fabio is a professional entertainer who bears witness to the difficulty of describing the history of a soccer team and a city. He walks the streets and the alleys of Naples like a diviner in search of places and faces that can give a feeling of the city's background and everyday life. He is interested in the details, in the minor stories, in the destiny of the people who have touched the world of soccer, even just marginally.

"The people who made this film love soccer in almost all its forms, but they feel much less love for the powers that regulate it and that transform it into the 'world's most stupid' show" (Fluid Video Crew).

Biography

film director

Fluid Video Crew

Fluid Video Crew is the name of a group of authors (Davide Barletti, Lorenzo Conte, Edoardo Cicchetti, Mattia Mariani) who joined forces in Rome in 1995 to make audiovisual projects focusing on works dedicated to places and the stories of the people who live or travel through there. The authors have made roughly fifty films in video or on Super 8 film, an articulated socio-anthropological documentation that represents reality, never separating the land from the stories of its life.
