NagaFilm has been producing award winning documentaries, focusing on social, ecological and gender issues.

Our field methodology follows the idea of an organic integration with the subject,

without any claim of objectivity, but always trying to establish honest and truthful relations.

We try to give voice to whom is invisible and we strongly believe in partecipative filmmaking.

Our last documentary “Genius Loci”, gives a portrait of rural life between Umbria and Tuscany, contemplating the relations between new environmental challenges and the importance of tradition . Here it is the official trailer. The project is at editing \ filming stage .

Ibrahim, Ram and Raju are three rickshaw pullers in Kolkata

– a city held together by its agony, which has the spasmodic vitality

of something that is nearing its end. These men are called “Human Horses”

because of the work they do. Actually, they are the last of the lasts, 

stubborn proof of the true essence of human dignity.
