I Cammelli

"Tonino De Bernardi - Un tempo, un incontro" is a film about the duel between two friends who are very different from one another. Two different approaches, two characters, two views that only seem antithetical meet and then open up in front of a camera. Or, more precisely, in front of the cameras. On the one hand, the eye of Daniele Segre. On the other hand, Tonino's, which almost taints the film's aesthetics. The film's development conveys a sense of immediacy, which is a fundamental principle for both directors. Daniele films Tonino and Tonino films Daniele, and this takes place in a play of associations, and in the space of an encounter. The two directors have seized this opportunity to swap views and experiences.

During the Resistance, in November 1943, the “Women's Defence Groups for the Assistance of Freedom Fighters” were formed. These groups organised demonstrations to demand peace in the city and in the municipalities of the province; the women collected clothing for the partisans, made flags and armbands, the older ones knitted woollen socks and jumpers, the younger ones became gappiste (female partisans), couriers or took up arms. Marisa, Carmen, Carla and the other protagonists of this story took part in the Resistance in Piedmont, and now they recount that period, illustrating its difficulties, commitment, losses, growth and achievements.
