March 2020, lockdown snaps. A cinephile, Alessandro Aniballi, takes shelter in the cinema of the past, trying to understand how this obsession was born in him. Cinema thus becomes the tool to reconstruct the memory of himself and the outside world.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
Una claustrocinefilia was born as a reaction to the isolation of the first Italian lockdown, which represented for me an opportunity to dive into the cinema of the past, to go through the films I love, trying to keep alive my passion for cinema, when everything seemed lost. Those films, those images, those faces were magically reincarnated before my eyes, giving me the impression - probably under the effect of some delirium - that they were still alive, so much a that I could touch them. And, perhaps, in fact they are.
