We Should All Be Futurists

At the turn of the 20th century, in a suggestive correspondence spanning nearly two decades, Rosa confides in her friend Giorgina, telling her a secret: the machine-extended mechanical man envisioned by Marinetti is not a near-future concept for mankind, as Futurists purport. It is, instead, a very real present for womankind, and Giorgina can easily order a specimen in the mail. The entire short film was made by re-editing scenes from a number of silent films.

Martyrion, Isabelle's Story

On December 3, 2022, at just 20 years of age, Jean Paul Sofia died when he was crushed by rubble at a construction site in Kordin, Malta. His mother, Isabelle Bonnici, began a long fight for justice, launching the second public inquiry in the history of the Maltese Republic. She made her testimony even more powerful by deciding to pose for Martyrion, a photographic project that denounces environmental destruction and territorial abuse through the body and religious iconography.

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?

The Shift

Anna and Lucia, two women in their twenties, one Italian and one of Nigerian origin, take turns caring for Maria, a bedridden old lady living in a large, antiquated and silent house. Anna looks after Maria during the day, while Lucia has the night shift: the change of shift is the only moment at which the two young women meet, but in that short span of time the differences between them flare up every day, in a conflict in which each asserts—one at the expense of the other—her own position in the world.
