AstraDoc, The Echo of the Submerged Flowers by Rosa Maietta: the film with the memories of women from the State Archives of Naples

AstraDoc continues to present film previews in Naples. The event scheduled for Friday, March 14, 2025 at 20:30 pm at the Cinema Academy Astra will feature the screening of “L'eco dei fiori sommersi” by Rosa Maietta. The film explores the stories of women hidden in historical archives, bringing the protagonists and the director herself to the theater.

A Historical Heritage to Tell

The State Archives of Naples, an impressive repository of history founded in 1808, preserves kilometers of documents dating back to the XNUMXth century. Historical female figures, often forgotten, emerge through a collage of archival materials and reinterpretations. Profound stories such as that of Linda, who decided to abort during the Second World War, and Emma, ​​a worker persecuted by fascist laws, are reborn thanks to the careful work of archivists. In the hands of these experts, documents come to life, bringing to light the voices of women who have lived in silence.

A Journey Through Summerse Memories

According to the director, the film unfolds as “a poetic journey of suggestions, emotions and linguistic interweavings”. Through this documentary gaze, the stories hidden in the folders become a flow between past and present, revealing the emotions of voiceless women. Ladoc, with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Siae, produced the project, which also benefits from the support of the Campania Region Film Commission and the patronage of the State Archives of Naples. To participate, tickets are available at 5 euros or 4 euros for Arci members.
