Synopsis

Shot entirely with a cell phone, La paura is composed of moments captured by the prestigious Italian actor Pippo Delbono. The narration progressively finds its tone along different sequences, with the typical resolution of this kind of cameras. And the tone it finds it’s the one of a visual diary that not only records absurd moments but also talks about the state of affairs in terms of Italian cultural policies, which are extremely quick and efficient when it comes to stigmatizing foreigners. Delbono gets directly involved and attends to the funeral of an African young man who was murdered by a father and his son for stealing a pack of cookies from their shop in Milan, in 2008. All in all, the goal of this film is to remember the acts of racism that happen every day in Berlusconi’s Italy, as well as the control he has over the media.
