Every Tuesday Gloria, Enrico, Anna, and Giulia, along with many others, attend Father Cataldo’s mass for deliverance, trying to find a cure for a sense of discomfort that has no answer nor a name.

Work carried out on matter and fire, out of which the bronze figure of a dog by artist Velasco Vitali will ultimately emerge. The Fonderia Artistica Battaglia was founded in 1913 and is one of the oldest and most important artistic foundries in Italy. It produces bronze sculptures using lost-wax casting, a founding technique that dates back to the 4th century BC and is still done in much the same way today. The film draws on a purely observational mode. It is the hands and their gestures that link us to the world and create a connecting line from the past to the present.

Marco Belelli, aka Divino Otelma, is a well-known Italian philosopher and television personality. He has 6 degrees and owes his notoriety to his past career as a magician, chansonnier, politician. He is also the founder of the Theurgical Order of Elios and the Church of the Living, a cult with more than 20,000 followers, in which he has the role of a self-proclaimed God.

Significant figures who have been variously connected with his earthly life are also involved in this long journey of knowledge, contributing with their precious testimonies and blurring further our understanding of such a complex and layered figure.

This film is neither a documentary nor a portrait of the artist Pable Echaurren; it’s a kaleidoscopic meditation on our past, present and future.

L'amore e basta looks at the relationships of nine gay and lesbian couples. How can one love, today? The answers given by Stefano Consiglio and the couples he met in four European countries are scandalously normal, simple like the feelings of a group of children who open this story of many voices. Can homosexual love be lived in the harmony, clarity, contradictions, passions and duration that have always been common models in speaking of feelings? The incredible naturalness of the subjects in the film is powerful and destined to leave an impression on our reflections. As are the shame of marginalization, fear and diffidence of which Aldo Nove speaks in the brief novella that precedes the life stories that weave the plot, in between the explosions of color of Ursula Ferrara’s animated designs.

Five years of work, a one-hour movie, two zines with more than a hundred coloured pages. Hand screen-printed cover, 350 numbered copies. These are the numbers of URAGANO NEGLI OCCHI, a true story (self)built in the sweaty and smoky corners of the illegal Milan of occupations and hardcore punk concerts. Dozens of voices, interviews, flyers, illustrations and photographs describe a heterogeneous community of individuals, squats and collectives that in recent years has experienced an explosion of vitality, moving with enthusiasm and determination in the contradictions of the metropolitan city of Milan, affirming an unprecedented approach to Do It Yourself practices. An entirely self-produced narrative and visual project, conceived, developed and finalized in our spare time, with a lot of unexpected events in between.

A look at reality as it appears today in the streets and cities as an image of the crisis and decline of western society in the era of globalization. Between wealth and poverty, between homologation and loss of identity, between reality and illusion, nothing more than a great fairy tale, a deception, a collective lie of which the representation of daily life becomes its disturbing metaphor. As disturbing as the smile of Alice's Cat in Wonderland, who, at the girl's request for help to find the way that leads her out of the woods, replies with her characteristic grin: "It all depends on where you want to go". The narrative voice is by Marco Paolini.

Claudio's house is a magical place where every room is a world of colors and sensations that set the imagination free. A circus. He's acrobat, performer, circus artist, capable of turning every moment into a scene. Claudio has lived for the stage his entire life, and when the audience disappears and his children grow up, life beyond the spotlight becomes the hardest challenge of all. Between attempts to reinvent himself, old acts to dust off, and new ideas to stay afloat, he faces the weight of time, loneliness, in a world moving far too fast. Ironic, tender, and deeply human, "Sul filo" is the journey of an artist, balancing between laughter and melancholy, telling what it means to keep existing when the spotlight fades.
