Femminielli, les sirènes de Naples

Documentary

A documentary that explores the centuries-old tradition of the femminielli in Naples—people assigned male at birth who live in feminine roles and hold a unique place in the city’s popular culture. Through intimate portraits and everyday moments, the documentary follows members of this community as they take part in rituals, celebrations, and acts of neighborhood solidarity that blend folklore, spirituality, and gender expression. From lively streets to the pilgrimage at Montevergine Sanctuary, the film reveals how the femminielli embody a longstanding yet fragile tradition, offering a moving reflection on identity, resilience, and the survival of a distinctive cultural heritage.
