La Faraona

Mario Mieli was one of the most surprising figures of the great season of the 70s: intellectual, writer, performer, provocateur, but above all an activist for the rights of homosexuals and author of a cornerstone of gender and queer studies such as Elements of homosexual criticism. This documentary film in the form of a collection of materials and "notes" in five chapters (Poetry, Movement, Theatre, Alchemy, Death) shows the numerous and incredible facets of a unique personality in the Italian panorama, through the stories of ten friends and witnesses and a large number of audio and video materials, partly unpublished and shown here for the first time.

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.
