Schermo dell'Arte - Archivio Film Marwencol is the name of the toy-village situated in WW2 Europe which Mark Hogancamp created in the garden of his home in order to get over the psychophysical traumas he suffered after being attacked by a gang of oaves. Gulliverian creator of the romantic and cruel adventures of this small world - where Barbies and toy soldiers stand in for himself, his relatives and friends - Hogancamp is also its extraordinary photojournalist. When his pictures win a place in a New York gallery, the self-therapy generated by Marwencol shows itself to be a real art form.
