No Dogs or Italians Allowed (2022)

Alain Ughetto’s award-winning stop-motion gem tells the story of the director’s own family’s Italian emigration in the early 20th century. Constructed from handcrafted puppets, clay and everyday objects, the film brings to life the Ughetto family’s journey across the Alps to France, weaving together personal memories and European history. The result is a warm, imaginative and deeply moving tribute to family, migration and the magic of hand-drawn animation. You’re warmly invited to experience one of the most beloved European animated films of recent years at an open-air screening in the Brinkkala courtyard!

The film is part of the outdoor screening series organised by Turun elokuvakerho (TEK) and Turun Kirjakahvila.
