Mauro lives on the sidelines in Naples, but his heart flies off afar, to Mindelo, his homeland, to a Carnival which is a dream, promise and return. The film tells of time suspended by a desire: to return to Capo Verde, where childhood is the scent of a gentle breeze and tar, and where the Mandinga dance like ancestral spirits. It is a film on the right to move, love, exist and on the sweetness of belonging to oneself.

Sergio Leone: The Italian Who Invented America

To mark the recent thirtieth anniversary of Sergio Leone’s death, this documentary sets out to pay tribute to one of the great legends of world cinema. The singular artistic vision of Sergio Leone has transcended national borders, creating the Spaghetti Western genre and transforming the international cinematic panorama forever with his innovative stylistic and narrative solutions, which have now become part of the language of the movies. The film, which is enriched with precious archive footage from the Cineteca di Bologna, including rare audio recordings and film clips shot behind the scenes, sees for the first time the direct participation of the Leone family and has interviews both with Leone’s longtime collaborators and with icons of Hollywood who have been profoundly influenced by his work.
