In 1887, the town of Bussana Vecchia in Liguria, Italy was abandoned as an earthquake ripped through the village. For years, the town stood empty - a ghost town - ravaged only by the elements and time, until in the 1960s, a group of artists began squatting and a thriving community was born.
Bussana Vecchia is now known as the International Artists Village and is now not only an artists paradise but also a thriving tourist destination.
As students, we have decided to travel to Bussana Vecchia to film a documentary preserving the village now and have arranged several interviews with local artists telling their side of the story.
Can you help fund our dream? We have a car, 5 friends and a lot of passion to tell an amazing story.
