They are a guiding force, able to explain through their individual, perilous and often tragic experiences, the drastic shift of a nation, caught between patriarchy, deep economic crisis, corruption, rigid religious and ideological beliefs.

1919 - Fiume, Città di Vita

A country torn apart by the First World War. A people mourning over 650,000 fallen in the trenches. Politicians humiliated at the Versailles peace table. A poet-soldier who draws crowds to every rally. A city that becomes an emblem of irredentist and nationalist claims. It was in this Italy that the Fiume enterprise began on 12 September 1919: the adventure of Grabiele d'Annunzio and a handful of legionnaires who set out from Ronchi in Friuli, against the will of the established power, to occupy the Adriatic city and annex it to Italy, establish the Regency of Carnaro, and found a 'myth' destined to influence Italian and international culture and politics, aesthetics and vocabulary, well beyond the Twenty Years of Fascism.

Back Home Tomorrow

Documentary about two children who have been directly affected by wars in their respective countries. Six-year-old Murtaza took a landmine home to play with and it blew up in his hand, a familiar story in Afghanistan where one child is killed or injured every day by unexploded munitions. Fifteen-year-old Yagoub suffers from rheumatic heart disease, which if left untreated is life-threatening. Refugees from Sudan's 20 years of unrest, his family are unable to pay for treatment at the local hospital, giving him little more than six months to live. This moving film follows the stories of these two resilient boys and the efforts of the remarkable Italian NGO Emergency to give them back their futures. (Storyville)

307-r

'307-r' treats about a mysterious soldier put in a post-apocalyptic scenery; he has no name and, unfortunately, he finds himself inside the humid torture room of the enemy, who will force him to face the demons of a tormented mind. The soldier lives in a so-called limbo of a future society where the one and the only law which is observed is "homo homini lupus"; he plays his personal chess game in a constant balance between the physical violence and the psychological torture, in a delirious climax whose highest point is an external act of becoming conscious of the situation. How long can a man resist under torture? How far can a man push his limits? But, above all, who is the mole?
