Selfie
Directed by
Agostino Ferrente

Alessandro and Pietro are 16 years-old and live in Naples, district of Traiano where, in the summer of 2014, Davide Bifolco, also 16, was shot by a policeman who mistook him for a fugitive. They are inseparable friends, Alessandro works as a waiter in a bar, Pietro dreams to become a hairdresser. Alessandro and Pietro accept the director’s proposal to shoot themselves with an iPhone, commenting live on their own daily experiences, their close friendship, their neighbourhood – now empty, in the middle of summer – and the tragedy that ended Davide’s life.
- "Two Italian guys growing up in Camorra-blighted Naples turn the cameras on themselves in Agostino Ferrente's unexpectedly charming, lively doc."
- "An impressive slice-of-life documentary set in Camorra territory. Insightful and touching...."
