Farse dei film

Postcards—and the forgotten act of sending and receiving them—belong to a bygone era. A Venetian gentleman has been collecting them for years, preserving especially the old ones from his city. Some messages written on the back struck him so deeply that they sparked his imagination. From there, two stories take shape: two children playing among the squares and the water; a Venice immersed in emptiness, silent and stripped of presences. With their head in the clouds and their gaze lost among the faded lines of ink, the viewer is drawn into a small journey between memory and disappearance, childhood and desolation, presence and absence.

The Letter

The Letter follows a recently arrived immigrant and his family as they face an impossible deadline to leave the United States or risk deportation. Told through the lens of the filmmaker’s close friendship with the subject, the film centers on the slow dismantling of the family’s home—an act that becomes both practical and symbolic—capturing fear, love, and resilience as neighbors, church members, and community activists rally together, leaving a visible absence where a family once belonged.

Where the Waters Meet on the Breathing Shore

"Where the Waters Meet on the Breathing Shore" is a 25 minute science documentary exploring the Mullica River-Great Bay Estuary in Tuckerton, NJ, where freshwater rivers meet the saltwater sea. Graduate student and science storyteller Shaniya Utamidata joins marine scientists at Rutgers University Marine Field Station, Dr. Thomas Grothues, Dr. Ken Able, Dr. Oscar Schofield, and Lisa Auermuller to reveal how these “breathing shores” sustain biodiversity, filter water, and buffer communities against climate change. Blending scientific insight with reflection, the film transforms field research into a personal journey of discovery. Using a Science-in-Action Storytelling Model, we invite young audiences, especially students from underrepresented backgrounds, to see themselves in the story of science. In connecting the marshes of New Jersey to the coasts of Indonesia, "Where the Waters Meet on the Breathing Shore" shows how one estuary’s story belongs to the entire planet.

Chadani

In the quiet village of Bardiya, 24-year-old Chadani Thapa cuts hair for men, a job rarely held by women in her community. Living away from her family for the past two years, she has built a life shaped by routine, resilience, and a growing sense of independence. As she sharpens her skills in a male-dominated trade, the emotional distance from her loved ones lingers in the background. Through everyday moments and silences, this documentary traces Chadani’s journey, not just as a barber, but as a young woman quietly carving out space for herself in a world that offers little of it. Her solitude becomes a landscape for reflection, and her work, a quiet rebellion.

The Cry of the Eider

Once the proud symbol of the Baltic Sea, the Common Eider is now disappearing at an alarming rate. The Cry of the Eider follows a group of dedicated people fighting to save this iconic sea bird from the brink of collapse. Through breathtaking footage and powerful yet intimate human stories, the film uncovers the deeper forces driving the Eider’s decline — from environmental change to human impact — and asks what this tragedy reveals about the state of the Baltic Sea itself. This is not just the story of one species. The Eider’s fate mirrors the uncertain future of an entire ecosystem. As nature is reshaped by powerful global forces, can individual action still make a difference?
