**Cinema and Prison – Juvenile Detention and Restorative Justice (Short Films)**
There will be a screening of two short films:
- **"A che punto è la notte – The Confessions of Three Young Actors"**, directed by *Vincenzo Ardito*, documents the theater workshop conducted by Lello Tedeschi inside the "N. Fornelli" Juvenile Detention Center in Bari. Three young inmates perform an intense and personal version of Macbeth, exploring deep themes such as guilt, violence, and love. The film intertwines the human journey of the boys with the theatrical and educational work supported by Teatro Kismet OperA.
- **"Limbo"** by *Vincenzo Ardito and Damiano Nirchio*, emerged from the theatrical project "The Theater that Repairs. The Theater that is Shelter", promoted by the Teatro Pubblico Pugliese and realized with Senza Piume and Sinapsi Produzioni Partecipate. Inspired by restorative justice principles, the project involved participants in writing workshops, public reading, and a final performance. Through theater, participants transformed their own stories into opportunities for listening, expression, and rebirth.
