“Discussing with filmmakers about features of Cinema of the real has been a rare opportunity and a great privilege. Showing them my land, Sardinia, thanks to Fiorenzo Serra, has enabled me to understand more the “world” where I live in. A film “Tower of Babel”, a laborious and boundless work. A long project without an end, a unique long-life talk. The Love for cinema and for Earth and communities. ” (Peter Marcias)
