AstraDoc hosts Adele Tulli and Laura Romano in Naples for Real

In the digital age, the meaning of being human is explored by Adele Tulli in her second feature film entitled “Real”. The film marks the last stop of the first part of the 2025 edition of “AstraDoc – Viaggio nel cinema del reale”, hosting the director in Naples for the first screening presentation on Friday 21 February at 20:30 pm at the hall in via Mezzocannone, together with the producer Laura Romano.

The digital journey of “Real”

Presented at the 77th Locarno Film Festival, Tulli's work offers a visionary look at contemporary society immersed in a digital multiverse. This documentary explores the facets of hyper-connected living, with protagonists who deal with new forms of digital relationships, jobs and identities. “Real” delves into complex issues such as the culture of self-representation, technological dependencies and the transformation of identity beyond the physical boundaries of the body, using technological tools such as visors and webcams to narrate this new experience of reality.

The film was produced by Pepito Produzioni and FilmAffair, in collaboration with Rai Cinema and Luce Cinecittà and developed with the support of the NIPKOW writing residency in Berlin. It participated in industry events such as the Venice Gap Financing 2023 and won the Best Project award at the Milano FilmNetwork Atelier 2023. The screening, with tickets at 5 euros and reduced rates for Arci members, is part of the festival curated by Arci Movie in collaboration with Parallelo 41 Produzioni, Coinor and the University of Naples Federico II, with the patronage of the Municipality of Naples.
