ALBE: A Life Beyond Earth

pop story of seven people from Rome and its surroundings who share passions and experiences of contacteeism, ufology and cosmic spirituality. They are very normal "citizens above all suspicion", yet they consider themselves special researchers, in their own way pioneers of a new awareness that they are convinced will come from space. "ALBE" is the name of the group they created to be able to share experiences, thoughts and moods, with the certainty of not being taken for crazy. Between séances in contact with astral beings, extraterrestrial exorcisms , hunting for Orbs and sky-watching sessions, the group is in constant rehearsals and signals, even with the help of the indispensable mobile phone.In counterpoint, the director Elisa Fuksas conducts a personal research between science and faith on similar themes speaking with religious, astrophysicists,and with Carlo, "alien-human", an authentic 'Martian in Rome', trying to answer the question: "Are we alone in the Universe"?

Iago Pericot. La conquesta de la innocència

Iago Pericot ‘The Conquest of Innocence’ is a journey through the events that marked his life (Franco’s repression, awareness of his homosexuality, his stay in London during the troubled 60s) and his works (“Rebel Delirium”, ‘Bent’, ‘MozartNu’), which were essential for modernizing the Catalan theater. It is the story of the creative process of an artist who, at 85, wants to continue talking about the world through his art. It is the portrait of his relationship with Josep, his companion for 15 years.

National Narrative

“Hi, what are you up to?” On the video chat, Periscope, the exchange of images can be enriched by text messages and/or a flow of hearts allowing people who are streaming their video live to see strangers’ comments on their appearance or their conversations. Entirely constructed using these exchanges, National Narrative probes the exhibitionist norm of the enhanced selfie. Spontaneous poetry (“Your eyes they wanna drive me bananas”), a burlesque scene between two loafers who are unable to make out which of them is receiving mocking comments as they confuse left and right on the screen… Far from sparking derision, this montage instead points up the users’ self-derision and the paradoxical coyness of a space where people claim to show everything, from breasts to vomit. How does the immediacy of a chat between strangers integrate into its playful and intentionally exaggerated quotidian, the incommensurable horror when a tragic event intervenes?

Johnny Kingdom's Our Land Today 2018

In his final film Johnny wanted to show 'all you lovely people' how the land that he bought with his wife Julie, had changed over the years since they bought it in 2006, and some of things he had got up to since his last film. The 52 acre wildlife haven provided Johnny with delights such as kingfishers and heron in the pond, fox clubs playing in the bluebell wood, red deer and bird life in the snow and the chance for him to show the younger generation that looking out for wildlife can be a fun thing to do!

Nacemos de la tierra

Aurélio and his father-in-law Apolinar, both Kallawaya healers, have contributed to several books by German anthropologist Ina Rösing. While the former welcomes urban patients to his native village of Lunlaya at the gateway to the Bolivian Altiplano, the latter has chosen to open a consultorio in the capital, La Paz. Their intertwined trajectories raise questions about the evolution of healthcare practices and the place of anthropological works in the construction of memory.

Booba, Des Poèmes Sans Poésie

Is Booba the latest great French poet? Yes, there is a lot of vulgarity, but also a unique pen. We explore Booba's poetic legacy through Verlaine and Baudelaire, also delving into literary giants like Céline to unravel "the puzzle of words and thoughts" in Booba's work. The analysis of his punchlines is deliberately conducted in-depth to take the time to reflect and thoroughly explore all aspects of his pen, concluding with an extensive analysis of one of his greatest works: Ma Définition.
