The Camorra clan has been dominating the city of Naples for centuries. Today it's part of people’s everyday life and tolerated like an unavoidable and naturally given reality. The film's essayistic way of storytelling style penetrates this hermetic space to expose the city’s archaic structures of power. Martin Prinoth, born 1983 in Bolzano, is a graduate of the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg. His film CREATURES OF THE VESUVIUS won the prize for Best Short Documentary at the Naples Film Festival and traces the fatalistic triangular constellation of organized crime, lack of educational opportunity and the deep religiousness of a city that became the epitome of corruption, unemployment and poverty in Italy in a kaleidoscopic picture-text montage.
