Arà

ARÀ is an interlayer

Sometimes it blurs the feelings, other times it dulls the tone of a conversation

We use it to express concepts and ideas

Arà is not just a Sicilian expression: it is a trademark, a calling card, an infinite spectrum of possibilities for our expressing ourselves and understanding each other. It gives color to us who own it and surprises, convinces and conquers those who meet it.

Where do we start from

ARÀ is a film production company based in Modica (RG).

We were born in 2010 in one of the most beautiful UNESCO cities of the Val di Noto, in Sicily, a land of borders and cultural exchanges, and we travel and work wherever the wind of inspiration.

What do we do

We tell stories through the language of cinematic narration, working across every area of the audiovisual chain, from television to new media, with particular focus on cinema, both documentary and fiction.

Communication for people and businesses

Arà also lends its professionalism to the service people e businesses, creating corporate documentaries, promotional spots and portraits in the form of audiovisual stories.

Together with Arà she made her fiction directorial debut with Uninstalling love. Italo is her first feature film. In 2017 she produced and directed the short documentary Vasa Vasa.
