Fiori di Strada - We Are Not the Crazy Ones

The film is a reflection on the medieval folk tradition of "benandanti" ("good walkers"), who believed they had special powers to fight witches, ogres and demons threatening harvests and children. Who are the "benandanti" of today and who are the witches and ogres of our times? Can these assigned roles be put into question? The film analyses three stories, trying to recover the sense of truth and the truth of the sense, starting from the relations between individuals and the respect that every statement of the human race deserves.

GLITCH

Andrea Nastri is a successful entrepreneur who founded a company that deals with a very particular market: making people relive lived experiences through sophisticated projection technology. Andrea lost his father as a child, so this technology represents a way for him to be able to relive him. This process being very invasive is also much criticized by the press and newspapers. Pushed by the desire to make his father's hologram more real, Andrea will push himself beyond all limits, abusing the technology and immersing himself in a world where the line between real and projection is blurred. Only by accepting the truth will Andrea be able to rid himself of his fears.

The Seminarian

Italy, 1959. A ten-year-old boy called Guido enters a Catholic seminary, fascinated by the idea of becoming a priest. He quickly understands that in order to be a good seminarian he has to submit to an ascetic and unnatural training, consisting in mortification of the flesh, obsession with sin and repression of one's sexual instincts and desires. Guido finds himself up against a deeply hierarchical system, where strict observance of rules and blind obedience to superiors are taught. A system in which thinking for oneself is forbidden.

Despite The Facts

Through the narrative of a fictional political crime during the Years of Lead, Despite the Facts investigates the interplay between fiction and documentary. Structured around a fictionalized interview with a real former member of the Italian extra-parliamentary radical left, the work highlights the subtle boundary between fiction, reality, and a constructivist approach to history. The piece employs both the language of documentary as well as cinematic language, probing how narratives are constructed and showing that the “fact” itself is ultimately inaccessible, existing only as a construction. The project was conceived for both single- and two-channel formats, comprising a single-channel screening version and a two-channel installation version. The project was realised with the support of Injuve (Spanish Government), Community of Madrid, Cripta747 (Turin), and Torino Film Commission.
