Resistance often reveals unexpected forms of poetry. I call it collateral beauty.
The people I portray are not mere subjects, but integral parts of my life. Through cinema, I pay homage to the love we shared amidst adversity.
These films are testaments to those who fight with the greatest dignity.

Letters to the Blind
2025
Letters to the Blind is Camilla Salvatore’s first collection of writings. Defying the codes of the epistolary genre, Incunabula’s inaugural issue is a feverish dream into the unreliability of truth, which Camilla Salvatore weaves into the fabric of reality through a language that is lyrically personal as much as militant.
A reckoning with the ripples of memory and the riddles of love, this selection of texts—written between Naples, Milan, and London over four years—is a transformative encounter with the unspeakable at the edge of experience.
When past, present, and future dissolve in the haze of grief, the possibility of a reconciliation shines through: Letters to the Blind confronts the reader with the wonder and terror that follow the ultimate uprooting—the collapse and rebirth of the self.
Edited and translated by Veronica Gisondi.
