Through the evident clarity of thought and structure inherent to documentaries, Archipel portrays a fictional story that can change the often stereotypical perception of what we know as "theaters of war." Each place of destruction is also perforce a space that is vital, of games, of conversations, even of eroticism. Through the vicissitudes of Abed, Giacomo Abbruzzese describes a world in which each movement takes place in an open-air labyrinth: if it is true that "silence is complicity," or rather, a way of maintaining the labyrinth, then portraying it may be a way to find the exit. Because, it's true, "there is nothing extraordinary in the organization of oppression." - 2010 Winner AVANTI! AwardFor the ability of their respective authors to deal with topics of utmost social urgency, using a filmic language that is committed to research, that is highly expressive and is characterized both by the rigor and the spontaneity of its outlook.
