8 young national and international filmmakers were selected to make a short film (max. 10 minutes) set in San Potito Sannitico and starring the town’s inhabitants. The selected directors had 5 days to shoot and every corner of the town at their disposal. The theme around which the script was to be centred was "Element Earth". In addition, each director was assigned one of the artworks currently present in town and asked to communicate and interact with the assigned work in their short film.
