On Friday, November 22, “I mille cancelli di Filippo” (The Thousand Gates of Filippo) , directed by Adamo Antonacci, was screened in Aula T.1 (Polo Zanotto). The director, Adamo Antonacci, and Filippo’s father, Enrico Zoi, attended the event.
The documentary follows the life of autistic artist Filippo Zoi. Filippo has an innate passion for doors and gates of any form, shape, or color, as well as for drawing comings. The narrative follows the story of Filippo, a young autistic man and a true artist. Filippo has an innate passion for doors and gates of all shapes and colors, as well as for drawing comics. The film teaches us not to stop at appearances or the labels imposed by society but to value the passions of the “vulnerable”, turning them into something unique. Many gates have been broken down, but many more still need to be.
