Italian Cultural Association Exeter brings together a fine selection of three short films by emerging and established Italian filmmakers that live in Devon, offering a taste of Italian culture though visual story telling and previously unseen titles. 

This screening is part of Celebrate Exeter DiverCity project, working together with Exeter’s differing heritage communities, delivered by Devon Development Education.

About Rossana Chiarelli’s short

X Isles was produced exactly 20 years ago, before YouTube existed. It’s a personal account of Rossana’s experience of displacement at the end of her degree. This short led to a series of showings and talks at Oxford and Cambridge universities, and the article Shooting From The Belly published in Spinning Lifelines, Women’s Autobiographical Writing. It was a healing, personal journey that took Rosanna from a place of disempowerment to a space of inner freedom and embedded multiculturalism in her genes.
