For the first ever Wandering Cinema Film Retreat we traveled to an old farm in Carpasio, Liguria, in the Maritime Alps of Italy, where the mountains meet the sea near the French border. Our visiting filmmakers were Agnieszka Smoczyńska from Poland and Ali Vatansever from Turkey. Participants came from five countries, spanned four decades in age, and found inspiration and delight in their connections with one another. The group shot an Exquisite Corpse film on 16mm on a Bolex camera (we express shipped the film to Belgium for development and watched our film together on the last night) and spent their days in workshops, eating and drinking, meditating, swimming and hiking.
