Carousel

Synopsis:

Jake Keller, a Dallas reporter, uncovers a "Smart City" surveillance conspiracy. Jake’s investigation takes him from the skyscraper office of an oil CEO to a drug den with guns at the ready. He discovers a network of corrupt politicians, hungry lobbyists, Deep State assassins, and gray aliens—only one of which might be a hallucination. With allies in short supply and a rising body count from suspicious accidents, the only question is which will unravel first: the conspiracy or Jake’s sanity.

I'm not a racist, but...

Synopsis:

The video is based on the song "I am not a racist, but ..." and was made in Brussels with the participation of the children of the "Center Communautaire Maritime (CCM)" of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean.

Some scenes were shot at the CCM, while others were shot outdoors in the Molenbeek-Saint-Jean district and in the city of Brussels.


In the video, two characters confront each other in different situations: in a pub, in a car inside a parking lot, during a walk in the city. The main character gives a strong and cynical voice to prejudice and clichés, trying to convince the other who is opposed to them. The irony of the text is amplified by the caricatured behavior of the main character and the reactions of the interlocutor. The games, laughter, expressions and spontaneous attitudes of children underline the absurdity of prejudice and clichés in a world that is constantly evolving.


Halfway through the video, the main character is filmed in the intimacy of his home, in the kitchen, while preparing a dish using the tagine and wearing the djellaba. The text and other elements present in the scene reflect the inconsistency of the protagonist, torn between prejudice and attraction to other cultures. And so the video develops and enhances the message of the song, namely that we are all made of the same substance and what differentiates us, our culture, life experiences, must be considered an added value and not a divisive element.


The ballets of the children and the two characters invite you to get involved and confront each other to improve and learn to live with others, in a world that will be increasingly multicultural and multi-ethnic.

Lori and the Six Six Sixties

Synopsis:

“The Other Side of the Forest” is a fantasy Pop-Art Fairytale starring Lori Stott (BBC’s The Demon Headmaster’ and Ashley Sutherland,. It is the tale of a shy young woman seeking her fame in the dark work of the 1960s folk-music underground. Lori’s journey to stardom takes her on a journey far beyond the familiar music world she is trying to break into and instead breaks out to a forgotten past of rural landscapes, magic, myth, dead Gods and mysterious fallen angels”. 


It is a bold mix of influences covering 1960’s British Youth-Film such as “Smashing Time’, Carnaby Street news-reels and the Counter-Culture texts ‘The White Goddess’, ‘The House on the Borderland’ and ‘The Golden Bough’.


It bravely plays with structure and narrative while playing with the genre tropes and musical group performances.


It was filmed with analogue sound and film equipment, incorporating various 16mm and Super8 processing techniques – hand developing, vintage cameras, sellotaped film editing, scratching, and film looping. 


The film was edited by Andy Morrison (Lord of the Rings, The English, Outlander, The Man Who Fell to Earth and The Last Kingdom).


The soundtrack is exclusively written by Post-Punk legend, Jowe Head (Swell Maps and Television Personalities).

The Consulting Virus

Synopsis:

Who truly decided which vaccine had to be bought during the pandemic? We found out that most European governments asked for help from large global consulting firms such as McKinsey, Deloitte, Accenture or KPMG and others. Despite the existence of potential conflicts of interest and thanks to insufficient transparency legislation. But in fact, these companies have been influencing the economy and politics for decades. Pandemic has only exposed these links. Let's put it that way: while Covid-19 has infected millions of people, the consulting virus has infected governments all around the world.

Hauntology of the Retrodromomania

Synopsis:

Hauntology of the Retrodromomania is an essayistic motion picture, a locomotory legwork, a deambulatory non-rural land survey, a casual journeying in a punctual dissertation around the phenomenon of the nostalgic feeling, discoursing on a late capitalistic landscape of social emotions, which are of yore, yet coloured of the postmodern tint of pixelated neo-noir, a socio-philosophical flâneur’s trip in critical theory escorted by the spirits of French post-structuralists. For a Sociology of Nostalgia revisited.

But will there be an overdose of globules? Insert 1 globules and start your solo home party! Cure yourself on so many occasions and relive a full relief.

The world is an enduring war theater. Perhaps because it’s a men’s world? When cast in such a set women try to play out all their means, even performing a sad joy division or bowing down like a poor little thing. This in spite of being a fierce partisan or a tactical guerrilla expert.

The world is either a repeating making up of same actions, as in the movements necessary for the make-up moment, every single day. Persisting like a waterproof mascara – but will it alike prove itself bulletproof too? I guess no, a mascara can only be more or less dramatic. Like in a recrudescing war against more natural habits, occurring at large in the world theater.

Queen of the Luna Parking

Synopsis:

Queen of the Luna Par(k)ing is a moving images arts by combining the element of the moon (from the Italian “luna” ) shining over a parking slot, where a girl is waiting for encountering someone, perhaps the king of the luna park. While acting in the gap of certainties like a lonely queen the moonshine splits its aura into the colours red/blue/yellow, interpreting the interstellar communication signals of Voyager 1 launched by the NASA in 1977. Exactly the year when the protagonist Wundersaar (Luna Queen) was born. Therefore the journey of the Voyager space probe can be seen as a metaphor for the expedition of every human being discovering the unknown in the deep space of life.

Super Sauber

Synopsis:

A dream where obsession for German as a second language mixes up with an obsession for neatness and cleanliness as a distinctive feature of the national culture in question seen from the perspective of a foreigner. The dream is not a nightmare only because the set it is dreamt into is the seashore of the mare nostrum, where the dreaming subject is perfectly at home. A homeland which she, in turn, in her more secret thus naïf dreams would dream of being cleaner and tidier as in the reality, especially in front of such beauty of nature. As is right and proper.

Fish Eye

Synopsis:

Fish Eye explores the struggle of expression through the eyes of a homeless man's soul wandering through a diverse city. It is a 15-minute stylized film starting from the perspective of a homeless artist. After his sudden death on the streets, his soul wanders around the city viewing strange instances in different peoples lives as they pass by each other. It is an honest look into the conversations and deep emotions of 22 city dwellers. Their perspectives range broadly from backgrounds of the rich, the poor, young, old, businessmen and criminals. They each individually explain their own personal philosophies on why things are the way they are, and why they do what they do. This all forms a subtle but inescapable theme: Confidence is silent, and insecurities are loud. Fisheye was shot all in one take around 8 city blocks. We utilized 22 improvisational actors from the Chicago-land area with professional backgrounds.

IDENTITY ES

Synopsis:

The unbelievable real life story of one of the most highly-respected immunologists and geneticists, Czech-Canadian Professor Emil Skamene. He devoted his life to uncovering the secrets of genes, while not knowing is own identity for many decades! He discovered that he was actually someone else by coincidence.


Professor Emil Skamene, M.D., Ph.D., F.R.C.P. (C), M.A.C.P., F.R.S.C., O.Q. physician, pedagogue, scientist. During his prolific professional life he wrote 250 professional publications, received tens of distinguished awards and even had the Nobel Prize within reach. He is the founder of the Institute for Clinical Research at McGill University in Montreal, a member of the Learned Society of the Czech Republic and a Knight of the National Order of Quebec.


This is just one page of the life story of Professor ES. A chapter about the successful scientist, who is a world leader in his branch. However, the second chapter, concerning his personal life, is just as interesting.


Professor ES was born during the Second World War in Buchach in Galicia around August 1941.

His precise date of birth is unknown. He did not know his real identity for thirty years. He was born as Emil Kleiner, a child of Jewish parents, the son of important Galician notary Benio Kleiner and his wife Giselle. His parents died during the pogrom in 1943. However, shortly before their death they managed to arrange for their eighteen-month old son to be taken on the difficult journey to Prague.

Only 4 of the 16,000 Jews in Buchach survived the war. Professor Skamene’s lifelong endeavours arise from his desire to show that his life was worth rescuing.

She the Creator


LOGLINE: Lilith, a brilliant artist living in isolation, decides to face her deepest trauma with a new series of paintings based on the alchemical process. Seduced by her narcissistic caretaker Kat, Lilith loses her grasp on reality as Kat assumes her identity.


SYNOPSIS: Grieving the loss of her mother and sister, Lilith is completely alone except for her relationship to her caretaker Kat. Obsessed with the alchemical process of transformation, she embarks on a new series of alchemically inspired works to face her trauma.

As Lilith and Kat become increasingly invested in her latest series, Kat makes a deal to sell Lilith’s work at a local gallery.


Kat’s growing obsession with Lilith and her art pushes Lilith’s mental state to the limits as the subjects in her paintings begin appearing to her in visions and dreams. As their relationship becomes convoluted, Kat spends more of her off-hours with Lilith, blurring the lines of professionalism and romantic interest.


As Lilith develops feelings for Kat, Kat pulls away becoming negligent and abusive. As Lilith’s condition worsens, the entities from her paintings reveal her darkest inner fears and memories. The entities of her paintings begin to manifest in her waking state as nature begins taking over through a vigorous deterioration of her physical space. As Lilith walks the line between creativity and self-destruction, her realities collide and she must make a choice as to which demons she will face, and how far she is willing to go to achieve artistic perfection.

Shivering wall

Synopsis:

It’s a self-examined process for assess your present time. In the regular bass sound surround space, you could find there’s a few teenagers are having a madness house party, and there’s a girl awake but exhausted for being there. There’s a slightly smog or light gently but regularly move in the space. The smog represented a spiritual inside a space. It could be the spiritual from you or others. It’s like you are just in a conference or a party and suddenly there’s something pull your spirit away from your body. It makes you look at yourself in a different angle, but you’re still in the group. What would you do and what’s the connection between you and others?

If the smog was another you – a same existence from another world to look at your body in this group full of chaos and desired. However, there’s nothing you can changed as a member in this group. All you can do silently look down at your body, and move away quietly.

If the smog wasn’t you, it was an outsider of this whole group of people. You are paralysed to make any specific change in the group although your body still in there. What you should do and what would you do? You are just upon there and silently away from all these scenes made by human being.

There’s certainly no right or wrong answer for this topic. This just point out the way how you look at yourself. It’s a discussion about the existence of yourself. What makes you becomes the present existence and what’s track you would leave in your life.

SINTER

Synopsis:

Samy Blum (Lucia Kotikova) does not remember anything. Neither day nor night.

She doesn't remember when her own perception began to crack and the horrors of her past began to trickle in. Was it because of her work at Café Devi? Because of the drugs? Did it have to do with the visit of that one guest (Christoph Müller) who had looked so familiar to her?

In panic and seemingly lost, Samy awakens in her inner world - rooms of darkness and dissociation. Dreadful scars continue to tear open piece by piece. Something chases Samy through the realm of this pain, in which every perception of reality threatens to drift away anchorless and only one thing becomes unimaginable: to forget.

SINTER was created in 2019 as a feature-length script at the "Münchner Drehbuchwerkstatt" and was realized as a short film in Berlin and Potsdam in 2021/22. The film makes two debuts: as the first feature film by the author Philip-Laszló Koch, and in film direction by Daniel Noël Fleischmann.

Solastalgia

Synopsis:

Solastalgia, a neologism coined in 2003 by philosopher Glenn Albrecht, describes “a form of psychic or existential distress caused by environmental change. A loss of certainty in a once predictable environment is common among groups that express solastalgia.”

The primary imagery for this work was collected during a two-month fellowship in central Italy, a country known for its stone hilltop towns and villages, pastoral landscapes, and heritage preservation- a kind of opposite to the American ethos of renewal and development so keenly observed and felt in the current Seattle urban makeover.

The work is composed of several sets of slow-moving synchronous tableaux displayed across four vertically placed compositions that together form a traditional triptych. While digital in origin, the imagery can be thought of, in my view, as

belonging to a sub-genre of painting.

ADIEU LACAN

Synopsis:

"With realistic acumen and artistic expertise, Adieu Lacan portrays the struggles of a young woman, Seriema, who is trying to understand why her path to motherhood has reached an unbearable impasse. Following two miscarriages and the possible loss of her marriage, Seriema travels to Paris in 1972 to undergo psychoanalytic treatment with the maverick French analyst, Jacques Lacan. Her analysis is an attempt to help her to disentangle the enigma of her question: why has motherhood become a seeming impossibility? Inspired by the story of Betty Milan, a Brazilian psychoanalyst and writer, it follows closely her own actual psychoanalysis with Lacan. Based on two books, Goodbye Doctor and Lacan’s Parrot, in which Milan recounts her analytic work, Adieu Lacan offers an insightful and accurate account of an actual psychoanalytic cure."

ALL'ALBA PERDERO'

Synopsis:

The idea of ​​telling the failure from a funny and at the same time constructive point of view seemed to me an urgent necessity. Given the current situation, where the spread of Covid has made us more fragile and vulnerable, the exploits of these extraordinary champions of defeat, protagonists of the film, give a tonic and regenerating effect for the soul. In short, it was the right story, at the right time! “Dare to lose to win”, the meaning of the film could be summed up in this slogan, where failure is no longer told as an unbearable burden but rather as a precious opportunity for growth. Talent is often associated with precocity, in many cases it is true: at 16 Maradona made his first hat-trick as a professional, Chaplin at six made his debut in the theater. However, there are artists like Cezanne who up to 40 years old did not promise well at all. What turned him into internationally renowned men? Cezanne is what is called "Late flower". The flower needs sun and water to be born. The late flower only needs one thing; to fail. Only through failure does it find its way, it strengthens and blossoms. At the beginning of their path a late flower and a failed one have the same trend, only over time one blooms while the other remains constant in the results. In short, the late flower manages to capitalize on its failures, it feeds on it to become strong.

Faltenrock

Synopsis:

What does aging mean in a society when lives become longer? With their friend's camera, two young filmmakers follow four regulars of Hamburg’s FALTENROCK party scene where you have to be over 60 to get in. Mechthild, Christiane and Volker and Christian fly to China, love the symmetry of their bux tree, they volunteer for refugees and disappear into the realm of Facebook for three hours at a time. Dealing with our own vision of age, always means confronting society’s image of it. The documentary FALTENROCK wants to move between those images and challenge our own ideas about retirement. Do we need a new definition of “old”? Empathizing with different lifeworlds also means understanding that anything is possible. Only one thing is certain: Retirement doesn’t have to mean that life is coming to a standstill.

One of their victims, Mohamedou Slahi, was freed from Guantanamo in 2016. In 2017 Journalist John Goetz starts his search for Slahi’s torturers – a 3-year journey across America.


As the journey continues, members of the Special Projects team agree to appear on camera, and a remarkable revelation occurs. It seems Slahi is no longer the victim: he has learned to reconcile himself with his past. It is the Americans who are lost. Stuck in the past, suffering from nervous illness, it is America that now seems the victim of the shadowy side of the War on Terror.

Synopsis:

Moving Barcelona is a magical realist dance story about the Catalonian capital, an autonomous region in the Spanish State contending with an identity crisis. A city with everything going for it is still haunted by the ghosts of its past and despite much progress, it finds itself unearthing old wounds. Narrated by celebrated actor, Pep Munné, who appeals for calm, there is a sense of reassurance that all is okay. The movement of the city however tells a different story, and he is resigned to the fact that things inevitably, are the way they are. Barcelonians, in pursuit of happiness, find themselves on a treadmill  to nowhere in a tale of modern day life. Moving Barcelona is the eighth film in an award-winning collection of works by the London-based film-maker, Jevan Chowdhury to capture the world as a stage. Life on the street in London, Paris, Brussels, Dallas, Prague, Yerevan and Athens have all been recorded in this growing canon.

Image expansion.


In the postcard city, always the same at the eyes of tired lovers, emergence of senses for fleeing souls.

SAN DONATO BEACH

Synopsis:

A small visual essay on lonliness.

Tragicomic notes on being alone, through the equation of summer, of the sunny suburbs and of old songs.

The rhythm and the reiteration of silences, angular shadows, midday crickets. Of archaic audio accompanying desolate and courageous souls.

"There are no bogus storytelling of boredom, but the slow and imperceptible evolution of tender movements of hope".

The Deluge

Synopsis:

Syndafloden (The Deluge) is the first joint full-length feature film by Jenni and Lauri Luhta. The work is visual-cinematic, realized through digital collage technique. The film's script is based on the prophecies and riddles in the work diaries of Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519). The work on the film began in the spring of 2019, when 500 years had passed since Leonardo's death and the Notre Dame of Paris caught fire.


Our journey starts with Leonardo wandering amongst nature's sublime wonders and rumblings, finally coming upon a cave. A secret is found therein: it is Death (played by Jenni Luhta), reciting Leonardo's prophecies in Swedish for the remainder of the film. Through Leonardo's words and visions, we look into the state of the contemporary world, our present age that was born from the shock of the 20th century and the World Wars. As our story is narrated by Leonardo through Death's lips, our emotional guide for the duration of the trip is Olavi Paavolainen (1903–1964), a Finnish critic and essayist to whom this film is dedicated. As Paavolainen represents the 20th century tragic European (melancholic Parisian influence on modernity, fears of decline of the West, witnessing WWII, genocide and atomic bombings), the present is portrayed by a fish-eyed Follower (played by Lauri Luhta) of Death. The passive Follower accepts the strange death of Europe, as well as his own death, but in his total, futile emptiness is ready to be reborn, realizing that the great turning in the West away from what is best began already before Leonardo’s time, the so-called Renaissance...


The unique translations of Leonardo's fragments to Swedish used in the film were made in collaboration with visual artist and translator Magnus Strandberg. Syndafloden is in Swedish language, because "Döden talar svenska" ("Death speaks Swedish") as the meme goes. The character of the narrator cannot be seen in isolation from the "medieval" figure of Death in Ingmar Bergman's Det sjunde inseglet (The Seventh Seal). Moreover, the filmmakers find Swedish language to be as "sjungande" ("singing") as Italian. The directors have also been inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky’s last work Offret (The Sacrifice), which was filmed in Sweden.

(Cinematographic Documentary) Giovanni Paneroni 23/01/1871 - 02/01/1950 of Rudiano (BS). From ice cream maker and pastry chef to self-educated astronomer and unaware pataphysicist, Paneroni disagreed with the whole astronomical world shouting "The earth does not turn, oh beasts!". Indeed, he cultivated with conviction his personal anti-Galilean theories about the universe, defending them honestly with heart and passion, being noticed in Italy and also abroad, between seriousness and extravagance, in University, political and popular field until the end of his days. His theories have acquired over the years an artistic and cultural symbolism beyond the concepts contained in them.

CIAO, LUCA

Synopsis:

Andrea Di Giovanni suffers a stroke at the age of 71, on December 13th 2016. He says his last words on his hospital bed to his son Luca, young actor: "Ciao, Luca". The sudden loss brings Luca back on his feet on the harsh stage of everyday life.

Only three months later the desperate need to get past the grief brings Luca to start the Ciao, Luca Italy Tour, a photographic travelling project which immortalizes he and his dad in 110 art shots. During six months (from March to September 2017) Luca travels alone to visit 110 cities, all italian provincial capitals.

In the eight months that follow his return Luca pursues a new goal: to relate his experience in a one man show. When he finally stages his monologue on May 4th 2018 he's not satisfied anymore: he'd realised that making a movie is the best way to tell the story of his everyday life during the last year and half in all its complexity. Writing this film becomes his new obsession.

After two months of exhausting writing sessions, on July the 9th 2018 Luca has a nervous breakdown due to a very intense depressive crisis. He must stop. Few days after his faint, Luca quit the idea of producing his film in a canonical way and decides to turn it into a documentary. He begins to shoot without a script nor a precise idea of what is going to happen, and starts another road trip through Italy followed only by a boom and a camera operator. His new goal: to meet and talk with the most important people of his life.

This is how the complex genesis of the film becomes Ciao, Luca itself: conversating with his relatives Luca appears as himself, but in the film he's not just an actor, author and director. He's a 37 years old son trying to become a man by revealing the mystery of his father's life.

Ciao, Luca is a journey in the search of lost time, where road movie meets coming of age. Will the enquiring power of cinema and the affection of his beloved ones help Luca to give a name to his and his father's story?

Fragments

Synopsis:

Robert, an independent actor, decides to finish writing the fragments of a script left behind by his son, Conrad, who was kidnapped by the military five years ago.

He asks his director friend, Kiki, to direct the film. He and Kiki, as well, decide to act as the lead actors in the film.

The shooting of the film is stalled a number of times because Robert does not know how

to end the film. This is because he refuses to acknowledge that he still resents Conrad's having chosen the movement over him.

Like all the relatives of the disappeared or "desaparecidos", Robert still hopes to

eventually find his son. He keeps Conrad's room the way it was the day he disappeared.

He writes unsent letters that he keeps in a drawer. He joins endless rallies. He

identifies exhumed corpses, hoping yet fighting against hope that it could be

his son.

In the meantime, Kiki, a lesbian living in with her partner, is involved in a losing

battle for custody for her two children. Eventually his American ex-husband absconds

their children and leaves for the States.

Together, Robert and Kiki grapple with issues of self-guilt as they also try to see

how far film can, and can not, address personal and social issues, in a society

that in all impunity has reduced people to numbers.

But Mrs. Dong, fearing karma, has her doubts all along. Zhou Ping, Mr. Zhou's son, on the other hand, sees the relocation as an opportunity to buy a school estate for his daughter.

Yun, Mrs. Dong's nanny who's from Sichuan Province, is suddenly informed that her brother has been hit by a car in her hometown, and, therefore, in urgent need of 100,000 RMB to pay for the operation. When she comes to know of Mr. Zhou's plan of the "fake marriage", she offers to help him out but asks for 100,000 RMB in advance. Having learned about her father-in-law's intention of marrying Mrs. Dong, Huang Lili, Zhou Ping's wife, has stolen his household register. As a result, Mr. Zhou, when he is about to give the bankbook with a deposit of 100,000 to Yun, finds that his household register is gone in which the bankbook is tucked.

In the meantime, Mrs. Dong is suffering from a fall after an eye operation and her daughter finds out that Yun has been seeing doctors using her mother's Medicare card.

Unable to get in touch with her, Yun's husband who has been in the countryside has also arrived in Shanghai...

Synopsis:

This is the story of a family and its journey. This family is mine.

I had just finished training to become a filmmaker, when after 17 years of struggle; my father enters into the final stage of Parkinson's disease.

I decide to borrow a camera and leave for Italy to film my father and family's last Christmas together.


From the television of the family bar, I hear that the Maya have announced the end of the world ... Is this the beginning of the end…? or just bullshit!

My father decides to live and fight for another two years.

We have supported him without limits.

The hospital room becomes our new home, warm and welcoming: card games, loud laughter and euphoric dances ... all accompanied by the indelible songs of Adriano Celentano… Our actual house, on the contrary, becomes a sad and abandoned place, where family members prepare themselves several times for the funeral and where they are continually challenged.


Mine is an introspective journey in search of my origins and what my future will be.

I Guerrieri is an Italian painting of our humanity facing the separation from the loved ones.

Rony Roller Circus, Life & Magic

Synopsis:

To pay homage to circus art, to highlight its life and everyday life by trying to remove the easy prejudice that hovers around this world. "Rony Roller Circus - Life & Magic", the documentary by the filmmaker Giacomo A. Iacolenna, with the patronage of the ENC (National Circus Authority), also addresses the theme of the hard clash between circus and animal rights activists.

In the work of Iacolenna the reality of a small community in which the strength of mind, the openness, the sharing and the integration between different cultures, are the foundations of a different and still poorly studied lifestyle.

All is narrated by the exponents of a historian and ancient circus family: the Vassallo's.

The aim of this work is to fascinate the viewer by giving emotions and bringing the minds to reflect from a point of view totally thrown compared to the conventions, removing controversy.

It is a slice of genuine life, exciting and moving features; a reality that many ignore, but from which, in all likelihood, will be fascinated.

The background, in the images, is followed by the photographic work "The Fabulous Destiny of Dainaly" by Liliana Ranalletta, on the everyday life of Dainaly, an autistic girl who has found her place in the universe in the circus, its truest dimension, mirror of his deep inner world full of sounds, shapes, colors and magic.

The Game Changer

Synopsis:

During the days leading up to one of the biggest video games conventions, gaming companies are busy getting their latest products ready for international launches.


Liam is a video game taster for possibly the biggest company in the business, and blessed with an incredible eye for detail, he's the best at what he does. But that's all he is really comfortable doing. Human interaction isn't really his thing.


Janet works in marketing for what she considers to be the worst video game company ever. Constantly packed with energy, she's seen as a moaner, a chatter box, and has no concept of "personal space".


As the grand opening of the convention nears, pressure to get things done to the very best builds up, allowing for stress, misunderstandings and frustrations to get in the way of what could otherwise be a very special encounter.

Synopsis:

“The One and Only Jewish Miss America” is the surprising story of Bess Myerson, the talented beauty queen from the Bronx, and how she won the world’s most famous beauty pageant 75 years ago, at the tail end of World War II. The film follows Bess, the middle daughter of poor Russian immigrants, from her childhood in a one-bedroom Jewish housing project apartment through the suspense-filled pageant. Impressed by the college-educated musician, the judges chose her in spite of anonymous threatening phone calls and sponsor disapproval of a Jewish pageant winner. On her 1945 Miss America tour, Bess faced antisemitism and closed doors at race-restricted venues which did not allow Jews. It is also a story of courage as her disappointment turned to determination, leading Bess Myerson to start her own tour to teach tolerance at high schools and colleges around the country -- a tour which launched her lifelong passion for justice.

Fueled by memories of forfeited dreams, estranged families, and a peculiar childhood obsession, they find solace in one another’s melancholy abandon.

Angiò

Synopsis:

Angiò is a work that breathes life into the spirit of Lorenzo Viani, the artist. It is a film by director Leonardo Palmerini, who hails from Viareggio. It is an experimental film that uses live shots processed through digital technology to echo the graphic work of Viani, painter, sculptor printmaker whose etchings exhibit a rare expressive power; it tells the story of Angelo Bertuccelli, who was born in Via Pinciana in Viareggio in 1850.


Small of stature with a strong and proud character trapped in a deformed body. Sailor, like the majority of the inhabitants of the Viareggio of those days, who escaped the gail-winds aboard the “Dedalo” and swore never to return to the sea.


The “sailor of the Ocean” spends his days in increasing isolation far from the pettiness of people who laugh at his grotesque appearance. In a whirlwind of desperation and rebellion the dwarf with the heart of a giant will end his days overcome by the tides of madness, a man drowned in a deep sea “a man of water” as prescribed by a hostile destiny.


Based on the novel “Angiò uomo d’acqua” by Lorenzo Viani.

Kalavrìa - the Calabrian Greeks land

Synopsis:

Did you know Greeks are still in Calabria? We are talking about a small group of villages where peaple are still retaining the Greek language in order not to lose the cultural roots that still make their world today, after 2700 years, a world of culture, mountains, agriculture, sheep-farming and handicrafts, a world considered too slow by the global economy to be expected and, therefore, abandoned to itself.

Project description

We went there, between the coast and the mountains most south of the Italian peninsula, not where everything ends, but where everything began. We did shoot beautiful images with breathtaking views, interviewed Greeks of Calabria trying to describe an almost lost world atmosphere, but still alive, witnessing the cultural and artistic peaks that this unfortunate part of Europe has reached.

We are filming a documentary. More specifically, we are creating a document. A mix of images, stories, traditions, music and paths that can offer the beauty of a whole world enclosed in one only work.

To tell “Grecanic Area” we have decided to go through it all along and out, starting from its modernity on the coast to the summits of its mountain tradition, breathing the charming atmosphere of the valley of the river Amendolea, the streets of Roghudi Vecchio and the stories of which was theater, and the architectural beauties of Bova.

We have been working on this project for three years, documenting the various events of Hellenism that the summer offers, from hiking / interviews to the "Greek week lessons", to the new museum of Rholfs to Gallicianò, magical place where one feels a still alive language that, despite the venerable age, seeks in all ways not to disappear.

MATA-the island's gaze

Synopsis:

Scottish photographer John Thomson’s trip to Taiwan in 1871 is an important historical event. In this film we selected a hunter photo to re-interpret that event and visit the Siraya tribe to find an Elder, who talks and sings well, bringing us back to the past through his plucking of strings.


Then we saw the vigorous hunters holding their breath, staying very still in front of that weird machine for a long time, with a boy and a dog squatted at their feet. The director grabbed the view of this moment and invites the audience to watch with curious eyes.


On both sides of the river of time, he repeatedly speculates and watches the past, the future, and the influence of images on this island.

Matera - From the Shame of Italy to the Capital of Culture

Synopsis:

The cave city of Matera is one of the oldest continually inhabited spots in Europe. It has been notoriously famous as ‘the shame of Italy’ in the 1950s on the basis of the novel «Christ Stopped At Eboli« by Carlo Levi. In the last few years, however, everything has changed: Matera will be the European Capital of Culture in 2019. And since this decision has been made, buildings are being

renovated, school classes from all over Italy are being dragged through the narrow streets, and dedicated volunteers are working on all kinds of cultural and other projects, so that Matera will remain an attractive place to live and work.

A film about exceptional people in an extraordinary city, and about a question that many other small cities around Europe have to ask themselves constantly: How is sustainable tourism to be promoted?

Synopsis:

Ours first work is a filosofical noir: dreamlike fragments experienced by a confused aged man. A strange scenario dominated by a great question that will grip you: would you tighten the noose around the accused's neck ... even knowing that your decision were been taken by others? From what? Counterfeited by the appearance and the fascination of power ... spoiled by partial or fake readings, or convinced by the wine that made us drink ... or overwhelmed by rules and rules, that can be... the other way round... circumvented with quirks or manipulative words.

Ignorance is keeping us alive

Synopsis:

Based on the collection "Kill your darlings" by Maarten van Mulken this is a Fashion Film made around Brissago, Lago Maggiore in Switzerland.


The characters, almost imprisoned inside the masks they wear, look like they're impersonating primal violent instinct and need for total freedom and independence.

In many of the shots it is composed, there is a mixture of eroticism and insanity that fits with the clothing line they wear. The darkest sequences have a surreal approach that looks like the inner darkness of the characters. Dressed with this whimsical clothes that often hide their facial features, it looks like you are watching empty bodies, anonymous souls that have been dressed to represent what they're most like.

"Ignorance is keeping us alive" by Roman Villevoye is a hybridization between an ad and a surreal short movie.

Innuendo- the bad twin

Synopsis:

When a mysterious young woman starts a new life as an art model, will her demons leave her alone or finally reveal the naked truth?


The Finnish Tuuli grew up in an oppressively religious and abusive family and in the shadow of her angelic twin sister. She embarks on a journey to the other side of the world, Australia, to find her true identity. Curious of nudity and sexuality, she becomes a nude model for art classes. She seems to use people to her own advantage and the good boy Thomas gets left behind when she meets the rough but charismatic chainsaw sculptor Ben. Her innocent surface starts revealing sordid cracks and the good intentions of the people she meets become a graveyard for her twisted delusions of grandiose. The film has been compared with works of David Lynch and Michael Scorsese.

Marriage

Synopsis:

Thoughtful and provocative drama about Europe's current sociopolitical crisis told through the allegory of a crumbling and twisted marriage.


Europe, the wife, is trapped in a boom and bust relationship with her young and immature husband Rich, and feels lost and disconnected from reality. Unable to deal with his sexual demands and the tragedy that has occurred because of his misconduct, Europe embarks on a journey within her mind to find herself. On her way she’ll meet the people that have haunted and affected her marriage: Rich’s decadent mother, his corrupted friends, his innocent victims and most importantly his domineering lover Adam - a man who seems to dictate the fate of many, including hers.


The film is a visual diary of a woman's thought-process towards divorce. It's dense and meaningful, with surrealistic overtones that reflect her subconscious.

Me Too - Fuck You - It's Time For Action

Synopsis:

ME TOO - FUCK YOU – IT’S TIME FOR ACTION “swipes” (like you do on your smartphone or iPad) between several stories of young and older women who think time’s up, we have to act against sexual abuse. The main storyline is about a Chinese woman who helps loyal other women to finally get justice from unpunished abusers, inspired by Hitchcock's "Strangers on a train" (for a perfect alibi) and Michael Mann's "Collateral" (take a cab to justice).


The first feature that lead actress Jenny Hsia (co) directed (with Paul Ruven). Her parents emigrated from communist China to the Netherlands. Trained as an actress at the Lee Strasberg Institute (NYC). Jenny Hsia: "#MeToo and Time's Up inspired. It’s about time we do something about sexual harassment. Filmmakers too can tell stories and start discussions. "


Emmy nominated producer Paul Ruven was twice selected for Berlin. Every movie he directs is different cinema adventure. Paul Ruven: " We shot a month before #MeToo started. An urgent dilemma: How to act against sexual abusers? In the world 1 in every 3 women and 1 in every 6 men suffered sexual abuse as children. Strong women stand up."


Director of “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” Martin McDonagh couldn’t have said it better at the BAFTA’s 2018 :"It is a hopeful movie but also angry, and sometimes an angry movie is the only way to change something."

Moist

Synopsis:

How do we define the line between men and nature?

Considering the fact that all things found on earth have started out as natural elements, it is unlikely to assume that mankind have at any point contribute to the development of original formation. However, having said that, it is impossible to ignore mankind's directive narrative to world's natural sources through the history, to the point where we can no longer see a clear difference between what is designed by nature and what isn't.

The elements we used for the video such as designed marble stone, fur coat, artificial waterfall etc, were clearly our way to illuminate men intervention within natural space as noted above, threatened by natural disasters such as fire and lava, simply to remind nature's fury and it's unattainable, wild consuming power.

Story for an Empty Theatre

Synopsis:

“Story for an empty theatre”, an introduction by Venanzio del Mare


This film narrates an intense story of love, disease and death, inspired by the autobiographical novel “Beyond the Blue”, by the Italian photographer and writer Cesare Bedognè. The novel is at the basis of the theatrical performance of the same name which, together with the writer’s photographs, was the first material on which this film was created. In this work still photographs, classical music, theatrical choreographies and dance belonging to the Japanese Butoh’s tradition, lyrical prose, diary fragments and poems merge cinematographically, through the editing by the Russian director Aleksandr Balagura, with shots taken both in a deserted Sanatorium of the Italian Alps, the place of the writer’s past, and in the Greek island of Lesvos, the place of his present. As the book on which it is based, the film seems to wander freely in time, attempting to be more faithful to the intrinsically poetic and diachronic flow of memory rather than to the artificial linearity of conventional narration. The space of this film is thus the space of consciousness, a continuum which dilates, in one of the very last shots, into a dreamlike meditation on death, when the theatre’s stage slowly dissolves into the interior of the Sanatorium's ruined church, and the white female character weaving together in a pattern of Japanese theatre the various shots of the film, seems to leave behind her own body and leaves the scene. Before the crumbling altar only a drifting plastic bag remains, stirred by the wind.

This is a film constructed on words where images (both still and moving) do not play a merely descriptive role, but rather open a parallel poetical path. It is thus accomplished, through a polysemic correlation between word and image, what Belá Balázs believed to be one of the most intriguing possibilities of poetical expression pertaining to cinematic language.

Through this filmic journey we are also led to the inner depths of the photographic image, the very stuff cinema is made of. Gelatin silver pictures merge in this film with cinematic shots, abandoning their seemingly static form: they dissolve or slowly take shape, as if still under the action of a developer in the darkroom, gradually revealing different layers of reality. The same pictures return rhythmically, in the film, and as the story unfolds they produce always diverse suggestions and meaning, in the continuously changeable and renewed flow of memory. In quite a similar manner, the actress seems to react to both the words from the book and Bach’s music, wandering freely inside and outside the stage, in a silent dialogue with the impalpable beings that from time to time seem to inhabit her, on the Greek shores, in a deserted church or in the old Sanatorium’s haunting rooms - a landscape of Absence - emptiness submerged by a sense of waiting, that counterpoints and at the same time reverberates the everlasting voice of the sea.

Sit back and watch the lengths to which she will go to take care of the one she loves, driven by a luscious, mad masochism that leads her to prostitute and betray the very essence of her magic; selling the deepest secrets of her species for base reward--money, intended to help her pretty, pretty lover boy become something more than what he is, even though he'll never be as complex, as tender or as intelligent as the protagonist herself.

In some ways, this is an examination of the female condition- a hazy, PTSD-infused willingness to subjugate. She feels the gnawing need to serve another- the pleasure of feeding another. It's a sexually maternal tale, almost...


Can she escape the Hardcore Folklore which has pushed her Self Realization behind a veil of socially-constructed reality?

The dispensation of life and death

Synopsis:

The video shows sadistic people sitting at a table where alongside the main course is a girl, clearly terrified.

With them there is a serial killer who, like a malicious presenter, entertains the audience of this aristocratic lounge.

A waiter keeps resupplying the table in front of these bored spectators and, while they are eating, the food acquires more and more a macabre connotation.

Rapid flashbacks, like dreamlike abstractions of introspection, depict their vices in their own private context touching religion, secret socities and perversions.

The hunger of the nobles is insatiable, they eventually start blaming each other in front of the gleeful eyes of the serial killer.

The last abstraction is his own, which brings him back to reality and what is currently happening: he is at the window and he is looking with desire at a girl as she strolls in the street, the one previously linked to his imaginary dream.


The serial killer is nothing more than a product, brought to the excess by our society. He represents the true choice that it (the society) induces: to abide by oneself or to live by moring according to ethical canons.

In his mind the need for exaggeration is represented throught the control he exercises on the victim.

He sees his personality as the demanding nobles he meets, characters with a dark and scary private life.

In the final he is back to reality, leaving him to the most disturbing of its questions: should he indulge in his nature?
