KURSAAL

"Kursaal" is a short 360-degree documentary dedicated to the CineKursaal in Rumelange, Luxembourg's oldest movie theater, which opened in 1911 and never closed since. The CineKursaal went through the Nazi occupation, survived the devastation of World War II, resisted the growing success of television in the 1970s, and renewed itself by automating the projection room in the late 1980s. Not even the advent of multiplexes, the temporary closure of theaters due to the pandemic, and the growing success of streaming platforms were able to interrupt the CineKursaal's glorious history. Through the personal recollections of its owner Raymond Massard, great-grandson of Conrad Massard who first managed the cinema in 1911, the short documentary tells the story of a cultural infrastructure rooted in Luxembourg's history. Archival materials and immersive video overlap in an intimate narrative that celebrates the cinema's past, reflects on its present, and looks to its future.

Lia Must Not Die

Lia is that part of himself that Vincenzo, a stand up comedian, married and with a child, never wanted to accept. She was his 'imaginary friend', the one his father sent away on a train when he caught him touching himself on the photo of a schoolmate. Now that his daughter has discovered his secret, Vincenzo has only one way to free himself from himself. In his latest show, he makes an appointment with his audience on platform 3, to say goodbye one last time. Only one of them will show up: Angela, who will find Vincenzo lying on the rails and will try to prevent him from making that extreme gesture. Because Lia exists. And it doesn't have to die.

Prosumers consume and produce simultaneously, while social networks store hours of content. This content commercializes our life experiences in the virtual world, turning them into popular culture, which feeds and leads us to spend part of our daily time on our virtual presence. GRWM (get ready with me) shows influencers sharing their first moments of the day. These videos have become virtual spaces where intimate moments, which may involve important subjects such as mental health, are also shared. By delving into these spaces, GRWM reflects on the banalisation of sensitive content.
