Five More Minutes Hits the Big Screen
The Premiere
The premiere of Five More Minutes, the inclusive short film directed by Giuseppe Raia and produced by Cooperjob SpA and Consorzio Oscar Romero, was held yesterday at the Rosebud Municipal Cinema in Reggio Emilia.
The Idea Behind the Short Film
The project was born from a collective idea developed in the CIAK film workshop, designed for people in vulnerable situations. It is part of the social responsibility initiatives of Cooperjob SpA and Consorzio Romero.
The CIAK Film Workshop
Throughout the workshop, which ran from November 2023 to April 2024, participants had the chance to step out of their comfort zones and engage in a fully immersive creative process. They explored various aspects of audiovisual storytelling, from screenwriting and acting to cinematography and editing. The outcome? A lighthearted yet meaningful story about feeling adrift in life, featuring Carmine Fabbricatore and Giulia Pirelli as Roberto, a hopeful young actor, and his ex-girlfriend, Giulia.
"I believe this film is about learning to see ourselves and our past from new perspectives, to find the irony in life’s twists and turns."
The Social Impact
This project is a powerful example of cultural and community-driven welfare, enhancing the quality of life for vulnerable individuals while promoting social inclusion and reinforcing the right of all citizens to access Reggio Emilia’s cultural scene.
