La salita (2026)

Step into two versions of Naples: one born from fantasy, another breathing with history. Where fiction meets a past that refuses to fade, *La salita* marks Massimilano Gallo’s directorial debut—a film drawn from a little-known chapter in the life of Eduardo De Filippo. Here, the island of Nisida sheds its *Mare fuori* persona, revealing a starkly different face. Yet Gallo’s vision of incarceration and the women confined within its walls feels just as urgent and modern. Presented by Panamafilm and the Film Commission Regione Campania.
