RAPHAËL BELLIOT DAMON

Resident February 2024

French filmmaker and anthropology student obsessed with alternative ways of living, he makes committed movies that are sometimes weird but often quite comic he also organises participatory events : cinema should be a playful way to connect people !

With Domus Artistic Residency he will be experimenting with the shooting of a collaborative video. Participants of marisol's dance-therapy workshop will have access to video cameras and microphones to express themselves : recordings of workshops, personal thoughts, interviews with each other or even with outsiders.

The documentary will explore the relationship between the people of Galatina and their inheritage : the legend of Tarantismo. We'll see how the power of shared narratives can build a new sense of community. To extend this process to a wider audience, a final screening will be organised to bring together all the inhabitants of Galatina !
