  • AISHITERU MY LOVE

    Italy 2013 75'
    Directed by: Stefano Cattini
    The staging of a play at the end of the school year is the engine that triggers the dynamics of a group of students in a vocational school. The filmmaker, without assigning any definition to the word adolescence, relies on a intense and delicate story and avoid the explicit language, finding a deeper and more authentic texture of reality.

  • BEING YOU, BEING ME

    Italy 2013 42'
    Directed by: Alexandra Kaufmann
    "Johannes is a young man who will make you wonder: in his world you can talk to the animals, you can say ‘yes’ and ‘no’ at the same time and you can ask the universe the wind, the rain, the snow.” The film is an act of love towards the younger brother of the film director, Johannes, who suffered a serious brain injury at the age of one year following a fall.

  • CENTOQUARANTA – LA STRAGE DIMENTICATA

    Italy 2013 74'
    Directed by: Manfredi Lucibello
    On the 10th of April 1991 the ferry Moby Prince collided with the oil tanker Agip Abruzzo, causing the death of 140 people. This documentary recounts the story in an attempt not to refute the legal truth or to create new hypotheses about the incident, but instead to narrate the story by telling the facts and events and the dramatic discoveries that have taken place in the years after the massacre. Strengthen by a thorough search of news and archival material, the film recreates a forgotten piece of Italian history.

  • DAL PROFONDO
    From the Depths

    Italy 2013 72'
    Directed by: Valentina Pedicini
    Every day, 150 men and 1 woman go 500 metres under the sea level to mine coal until they decide they do not want to come back to the world of the living and stay where we think the dead go. Valentina Pedicini captures the uncertain time of an extreme protest and represents the intimacy of the characters with a very refined underground tale containing old and modern aspects. And it’s from the deep where we can listen to a touching and complete discourse on the interaction between men and women.
