From its shocking opening image of a bridge snapped in two, Zero Position crosses an eerie landscape fractured by dueling Russian separatist and Ukrainian forces. On this cinematic journey, there are no interviews or extensive explanations of the conflict between the opposing sides. Accompanied by an evocative soundscape, the film moves like a ghostly presence through a troubled region, pausing at heavily armed checkpoints and competing front lines. As the camera captures people scurrying past the aftermath of conflict, carrying plastic bags bulging with items gleaned from abandoned homes, we see the stark reality of a people caught in a borderland between East and West. Director Louie Palu's expressive, sparse and poetically delivered voiceover adds context to places the nightly news cameras don't take us, including an old coal mine and a family's home. Through its mood and atmosphere, Zero Position offers us an experiential look at a region on the brink of all-out war.

La Moda del Liscio tells a composite story, articulated around major themes (the dance master, the orchestral players, the singer, the club manager, the TV, the epigones of an era) that constitute the epic of ballroom dancing, its anti-heroic dramaturgy, its somewhat vague and kitsch aesthetic. It is a choral story, populated by great figures but above all by orchestras, because ballroom dancing is not a genre for soloists. And there has never been any talk, with regard to ballroom dancing, of 'concerts', but only of 'shows', also choral, each with its own genre dynamics and costumes in which America is always cited. This documentary, through repertoires and interviews, with a focus on the private dimension of those who were the protagonists, wants to reconstruct not a history but a system of memories, an intimate and at the same time public memorial of a country that was happy.
