Hospitality as a filmic space. 

The Mediterranean culture has a long-standing tradition of hospitality that dates back to ancient times. Myths tell us the Gods gifted the trade of reciprocal host and guest, give and take, to bring people together through good intentions on both sides, regardless of social class, race, and religion. In today's world, the importance of hospitality cannot be overstated. A two-way street of generosity and reciprocity creates a ripple effect of sharing, exchange, support and inclusion. In continuing to forge alliances and meaningful connections among people of other places and cultural backgrounds, perhaps this tradition is as relevant as ever today and signposts the importance of our shared need to embrace otherness.
