A. is obsessed with his image. Like a post-modern Narcissus, he projects himself in the endless choices that social media devices offer him. Riccardo Giacconi creates a disquieting film about a teenager who gets lost in the maze of the never-ending reproductions of his Dorian Grayesque portrait. Taking to new and yet unexplored extremes, the fixation with the digital screens in their many guises, the film works like an almost endless fall – without any kind of parachute – through the network of images hidden behind and inside other images.

1919 - Fiume, Città di Vita

A country torn apart by the First World War. A people mourning over 650,000 fallen in the trenches. Politicians humiliated at the Versailles peace table. A poet-soldier who draws crowds to every rally. A city that becomes an emblem of irredentist and nationalist claims. It was in this Italy that the Fiume enterprise began on 12 September 1919: the adventure of Grabiele d'Annunzio and a handful of legionnaires who set out from Ronchi in Friuli, against the will of the established power, to occupy the Adriatic city and annex it to Italy, establish the Regency of Carnaro, and found a 'myth' destined to influence Italian and international culture and politics, aesthetics and vocabulary, well beyond the Twenty Years of Fascism.

Let Me Buy You a Drink

Christian is a dreamer who cannot find his place in this world; for the past 10 years he's been living in London, a city of a million opportunities, and training to become a professional in martial arts. At 35 years old, nothing he aspired to has become a reality. When he finds himself unemployed, his girlfriend (tired of his endless excuses) kicks him to the curb. Now he will be forced back to his birthplace, Genoa, where he will have to rediscover himself, reinvent himself, and above all else adapt himself to a new reality of friends and family, a reality far different from that which he imagined.
