Hi everyone,

A lot of people use Whatsapp Google, Twitter,  Facebook… "Look up" is a spoken word film for an online generation which asks us to reflect on our obsessions with relying on our smartphones, gadgets and to take the time to interact with one another. It's a good lesson.

Do you leave your phone aside when having dinner?
Do you look up? Are we limited to a world trapped within four corners?

An exciting story: Antonio La cava and his "bibliomotocarro".

He plays an organ to announce that he has arrived. The children usually run to see his books.
What is his mission? To spread the love of reading. Antonio says that a disinterest in reading often starts in schools because the technique of reading is not accompanied by love.
