Pneuma

Raw materials such as wood and iron are brought back to life by the passage of air, thus generating sound, music: a magical combination of science and imagination, a physical fact that nevertheless conceals a mysterious aspect for the listener. The mechanical reproduction of this miraculous breath is ensured by skilled hands, which care for, build and restore the individual parts of the musical instrument, giving it a new lease of life. The centuries-old knowledge of the art of organ building, handed down from generation to generation, finds its home in a workshop in the district of Segariu, a small town in the Marmilla region, at the gateway to central Sardinia. Beyond the craftsmanship process there seems to be an invisible and unstoppable motion that survives the millennia: the pursuit of the breath of nature, the wind, which for the ancient Greeks (Πνεúµα) was also the spirit.

Antonio

A dystopian fairy tale that tells, from the 40s to the present day, about the tenderness of a stillborn human being and the stubbornness dictated by the love of a grandmother. Sweetness and love reverse the succession of events, postponing the obvious consequences of the pathology that holds Antonio prisoner, and creating an unexpected life, told by the subjective eyes of a little puppet of Pinocchio, Antonio’s faithful friend since childhood. That is how a tale of Pinocchio develops, but backwards: a child who turns into a puppet as the disease progresses.

Nor(male) #4 (ep.26-35)

Testimonies of young women, the jealousy of their boyfriends, the indifference of their fathers, the intransigence of the stereotypes that pass through them. 10 episodes of an experimental web-series on sexism and gender violence, born immediately after the rape in Palermo in July 2023 in an attempt to build a counter-narrative that demystifies the macho and misogynistic mythologies of the media and the collectives, against the backdrop of anthropological considerations on “men who hate women”. Disturbing, percussive and pounding like all the works by canecapovolto, a place in which to penetrate the problem and extract its roots for a greater understanding of things. The series is copyright-free, it can be freely reshared by anyone.

Ginevra (Chiara Genna) and Filippo (Samuele Mancini), two people with their own lives. Two lives tormented by their own lives. Thus begins the film, interpreting the essence of the characters’ lives. Ginevra, following her dismissal from the hairdressing shop where she worked, set in motion a long path of dissatisfaction, disappointment and frustration, a driving force that immobilizes her motivational energies. Filippo, a boy, mistreated by society only to have as his fault, being closed, solitary, asocial. Filippo, on the other hand, is full of emotions that he is unable to express to others because he is blocked by the premature death of his two parents.
