“Tmentary film directed by Filippo
Corrieri and Ivan Comi, produced in
2019 and lasting 97 minutes, which
contains not only the narrative ele-
ment typical of the cinematographic
art but also references to a wider one
knowledge of the territory in the in-
dividual scenes, which thus becomes
the protagonist and vehicle of tourist
enjoyment in a decidedly original per-
spective. A magical, inner, dreamlike
journey, following the light of the Ca-
labrian lighthouses, between poetry,
history, nature and legend of a diffi-
cult land bathed by two seas. Thou-
sands of kilometers between extraordi-
nary and fascinating places, guarded
with pride by these luminous guides
- the lighthouses, in fact - in search
of that universal message that only
the purity and innocence of a child’s
eyes can see and grasp. This cultural
initiative originated from a collection
of unpublished photographs of these
beautiful light towers, accompanied
by texts - translated also in English
- that tell stories and history of the
places where they are located. It is cle-
arly a work that can pave the way for
