Since colonial times, millions of people have died in the silver mines of Potosí, Bolivia. In the 21st century, working conditions there are still deadly, while the profits are reaped by international corporations. For the people who live in the area, children included, the mines are their entire lives. This documentary shows their daily routine, underground and on the surface, without embellishment. It offers a glimpse into a world where survival depends on the chunk of precious metal chipped away by the sweat of a miner's brow. The exploitation of resources goes hand in hand with the exploitation of people, and the film brings them out of darkness and oblivion, if only for a moment.

DOC DAY is an initiative by the FAS – Film Association of South Tyrol, supported by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano.
All films are shown in their original language with English subtitles.

Spread the word and love among your people, film enthusiasts, or anyone you think could use this — a chance to slow down, let themselves be taken in, and reflect.

It's 6 films again, with powerful stories, images and sound, one film a month, from October 2026 to March 2027. For each event, we collaborate with distinctive partners we couldn't be happier about!

We are very happy to announce the Italian premiere of our member Veronika Kaserer's film SIMON MESSNER – Aus dem Schatten in Bolzano Filmclub Capitol this week, on September 17!

Kuddos also to our other members involved, including Daniel Mazza as DoP and Matilde Ramini as Sound Recordist.

Nr.74 Senza Nome, the short film produced by our members from Helios Sustainable Films, is heading to Florence tomorrow for the ADCF . On September 10, the film will be screened at 22:30 at Teatro dell’Affratellamento Firenze.

This short road movie by Davide Grotta, filmed in a documentaristic style and aesthetic, blurs the line between reality and poetic imagination. As Mane journeys across Italy’s contrasting landscapes, his steps echo the many who risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean in search of refuge. The film calls attention to the over 30,000 lives lost in these crossings over the last 15 years, most buried in anonymity.
Through Mane’s odyssey, the film becomes an act of collective remembrance, exploring the weight of loss, the search for identity, and the unresolved grief that ties the living to the dead. The nameless cemetery by the sea stands as a poignant symbol, where giving a name becomes an act of healing and acknowledgment for all who have been forgotten.
