From 2008 to 2012 Grottaglie, a small town in Apulia, has became one of the major center for international street art. Artists of the likes of Blu, Momo, Conor Harrington, EricailCane, Escif e Vhils and many others, have “invaded” the town with their artworks, often provocative, redesigning its geography. It all started from visionary talent of a young guy, Angelo Milano, who invited artists from all over the world in his small hometown, Grottaglie. The idea is simple: food and hospitality in exchange for an artwork on one the city walls. Without asking permissions nor the approval of local politicians, self-financed and anarchic, just like real street art requires, FAME Festival was born and shortly become one of the biggest festival of street art internationally recognised. On the strength of the success local government become obliging and tries to have a role on it, Angelo decided to interrupt it, after five, intense editions. Today the Festival is gone, but videos and in the memories of who was there, is amazing.

A community of electrically sensitive people is fleeing to a remote mountainous region of West Virginia called the National Radio Quiet Zone. In the shadow of one of the world’s largest and most sensitive radio telescopes, The Quiet Zone follows four characters as they adapt to life in this unique environment. The film draws a subtle parallel between the telescope and the electro-sensitive community, reflecting our growing concerns and ambivalence about the relentless permeation of communications technology.
