A hybrid documentary on fascist-era architecture in Italy. Narrated by renowned Northern Irish author, Wendy Erskine.
An Irish geologist teaching in Italy gets a call from a Berlin hospital: her estranged father, whom she hasn’t seen for over 30 years, is unconscious after a fall. As his next of kin, she is asked to come to Berlin. Over the course of a night in her father’s Berlin apartment she learns from his diaries about a trip he took with a friend to Italy in the early 2000s to research fascist-era buildings and sculptures. It is a trip that ended in tragedy.
Latina, Latina is a timely and moving hybrid-documentary that looks at a political ideology through the objects and buildings it left behind.
Director Adrian Duncan will take part in a Q&A after the film.
