  CIELO SENZA TERRA
  Heaven without Earth

  Italt 2010 125'
  Directed by: Giovanni Maderna, Sara Pozzoli
  A father and his son trek along the mountains, sleep in tents, wash in gelid waters and talk. They talk about family and freedom, money and God. Correspondingly a strike takes place and a record producer’s testimony is heard. An original film in-between fiction and documentary. A choral dialogue about the present, about memory and the importance of transmission in respect of everyone’s positions.

In great detail, journalist Charles Bowden compiles an intricate report on killing in the name of drugs.

  I AM JESUS

  Italy 2010 75'
  Directed by: Valerie Gudenus, Heloisa Sartorato
  A community of farmers in Siberia, a group of squatters in England, a group of single women in Brazil. These parallel worlds revolve around three different figures with one thing in common: the belief that they’re Jesus Christ. Following these three religious leaders and the lives of their disciples, "I am Jesus" examines the need for spiritual guidance, the need to belong to a community, and the demand for answers to the meaning of the human condition.
