CAMILLA SALVATORE

✷

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.

Permanent Exile
2020

Permanent Exile reveals the story of a young woman forced into the Witness Protection Program due to her family's criminal past. Personal memories, imagination, shadows, and reflections create a fragmented portrait of her life. Her disembodied voice guides us on a profound journey of self-examination, uncovering her deepest thoughts, fears, and concerns. This film offers an intimate exploration of herself and her relationship with her loved ones, in an attempt to redefine a past marked by fear and isolation.
