Cinema, the Chamber and its first film dedicated to women

For the 80th anniversary of the Constituent Assembly and the first women's vote, the Chamber of Deputies collaborates, for the first time, in the creation of a film, produced by Luce Cinecittà and Rai Cinema, in collaboration, together with the Chamber, with the Ministry of Culture and the Fondazione Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia.

It is called "Ricordati girl", it is written and created by Claudia Gerini and will be presented at 3.30 pm on Sunday 25 October at the Rome Film Festival (Sala Petrassi of the Auditorium Parco della Musica).

With this project - explains the president of the Supervisory Committee on documentation activity, Anna Ascani, who will be present on Sunday representing the Chamber - "we wanted to tell how the right to vote was obtained and the entire 'film' of the history of women in our country: how what was written in the Constitution became reality through the tiring and constant work of many women who worked hard for those rights".

The film which will be presented on Sunday - Gerini anticipates - "makes use of the interpretation of young actresses and actors and contains archive images and recreated images, to retrace the stages of this story, which has female protagonism at its centre".

“We must fuel the fire of equality, and we must do so by stimulating in the new generations the idea that it also depends on them, that equality is a fact that concerns them, because it is a fact that concerns our democracy,” explains Ascani.
