dir. Davide Carbone / documentary/ languages: Italian, Greko / subtitles Italian, English
A documentary on Greek Week that recounts the lessons and activities in/for the Greko of Calabria, promoted by the Ellenofona Jalò tu Vua Association every August. Now in its ninth edition, it presents itself as a journey to discover the Greek language of Calabria through the people who kept it alive, in the places where it took root, where experiences and emotions intertwine with each other, creating new bonds.
The morning lessons, divided into beginner, intermediate, advanced and children’s level courses, are alternated with seminars held by recognized personalities in the historical and artistic fields, not forgetting the importance of excursions to the ancient villages where Greek is spoken, such as Bova and Gallicianò, to restore a more complete vision of this ancient and noble linguistic minority.
Furthermore, the meeting between the Greek-speaking Hellenophone community and the Salento community was documented, whose visit to Calabria enriched the To ddomadi experience, alternating moments of discussion with moments of conviviality.
