cyop&kaf

(…) A good example of «anthropological realism» comes from Naples with Il segreto (in the Italian section Italiana.doc), where a group of street artists, that are called cyop&kaf, films a gang of kids of the Spanish quarters, that, after the winter celebrations, picks up the abandoned Christmas trees to make a great bonfire. Not a comment, not an «explanation» (it probably consist in the old tradition of the Cippo of Saint Anthony), only the attempt to give them back the vitality and the spontaneity of a generation that finds the code of its identity obeying to some laws that nobody ever wrote. (Paolo Mereghetti)
