Jennifer Malvezzi tells the story of the Cooperativa di cinema indipendente, founded in Rome in the autumn of 1967 on the model of the more famous Filmmaker's Coop in New York. Referring to the Italian precedents of the Centro Studi di filmologia e di cinema sperimentale in Naples and the American influences, Malvezzi narrates the main turning points characterising the production of the cooperative in which both artists and Italian filmmakers converged. Founded with the aim of gathering and distributing the films of Italian experimental and underground filmmakers, the cooperative brought together several personalities including Massimo Bacigalupo, Tonino De Bernardi, Anna Lajolo, Alfredo Leonardi and Guido Lombardi.
