Director Margherita Ferrari has presented her debut feature film, ‘Föa – C’era una volta il futuro’, at film festivals including Alice nella Città and the Rome Film Festival. Produced by Paolo Sorrentino through his company, Numero 10, the film explores the emotional and sensory aftermath of the 2001 G8 summit in Genoa.

Rather than providing a strict historical reconstruction or documentary, the film employs a ‘fable-like’ approach to depict the chaos and violence of the July 2001 protests. The narrative focuses on personal perspectives, such as the experience of a child living through the summit’s claustrophobia and the story of an eighteen-year-old woman encountering protesters fleeing from police. The director describes the work as an ‘emotional association of images’ linking memories of the event to the present.
