Bosco

Bosco is the third film by Uruguayan documentary filmmaker Alicia Cano Menoni, who undertakes numerous trips from Uruguay to the Italian village Bosco di Rossano, of which her 103-year-old grandfather Orlando Menoni was a descendant, and who, despite never having set foot in it, knew it better than anyone else. Cano Menoni travels for thirteen years from Uruguay to the village in Italy where only thirteen inhabitants remain. The director and screenwriter intends to rescue the life that still remains when it seems that everything is destined to disappear and builds the documentary with the experiences with the inhabitants, with the memories of her grandfather and those that she imagines.

'Bosco' has received numerous awards, including the Silver Biznaga for best documentary at the Malaga Film Festival in 2021, as well as the Special Jury Prize at the "Festival dei Popoli" in Italy, the special mention at the Santiago International Film Festival, and the honorable mention for excellence in visual anthropology at the Ethnocineca International Documentary Film Festival, among many other distinctions.

The documentary is produced by Uruguayan production company Mutante Cine and has Agustina Chiarino Voulminot as executive producer, Andrés Boero Madrid and the filmmaker herself as directors of photography and Rafael Álvarez González as sound director.
