~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the pressures of modern technology, an increasing number of jobs that must give way to other productive activities. Yesterday gave these lost jobs and a livelihood for many people today have forgotten them. It happens sometimes, watching the ever more anonymous modern city of neighborhoods, to look back with nostalgia to the city once built on a human scale and crafts dall'imperante industrialization swept away. We want to recall these trades also imagine and live again, thanks to your creative testimony, once the customs of our countries through the result object of an ancient, cultured and passionate way of doing things. This allows us to give a value to the precious heritage that we have skied many generations.
The abandonment of these ancient cultural occupation produces damage incalculable, depriving them of traditional points of reference and often contributing to the degradation of the urban fabric, causing considerable economic damage. To safeguard an ancient work, we leverage on our memory and art can help bring attention to the spirit to ancient crafts, bestowing a kind of affectionate tribute to our ancestors. The love and respect for the land, of course, leads us to re-read the story to find the roots of their identity and above all as a valuable lesson to look forward to. Rediscovering values of hard work, respect, honesty, thrift, simplicity and solidarity that underlay the system of life of our people.

" Film, being designated as the 7th Art, translates into the technique and ability to record and reproduce images with sense of movement, the works created called Movies, are produced by recording images of the world around us, with cameras, or using animation techniques and visual effects. Mail Art has no official number that designates it, but are many who adopted it in the past and present, as a manifestation of artistic expression, like in cinema, images, concepts, or other expressions, whether visual, tactile, sound or that explore other senses are developed and shared for a specific audience.
Both Mail Art and Film share a certain longevity, being different in form but not in essence, since both are means of communication and creativity that man has at his disposal. It is this tenuous link that is purported to be explored in this Mail Art Call."
