Fireflies

The fields in the margins of Rome were once full of fireflies. Today, the headlights of cars act like searchlights, while suitors spot sex workers through erratic flashes of light. In the heat of the night, the reflective glow of other bioluminescent bodies returns the magic of twinkling lights to the darkness. Lucciole is a collaborative meditation on liminal spaces and desire. The film was developed together with the sex workers from the Feel Good Cooperative in Rome.
