Mario Lorenzini was a working class man, a hiker, a hunter, and a member of the Italian Walser community. In the 70s, he bought a super8 camera and started shooting home-movies with it. Through his lens we experience the seasons passing by in Priami, a small village on the Swiss-Italian border. With his cinematic eye, he explores the people around him, while a second point of view emerges, giving an interpretation of his world, his life and his sense of cinema. His relationship with masculinity and the missed relationship with the "other sex" is often highlighted, enhancing the conflict between the expectations of his community and the reality of not fitting in.

The sight of a landscape is suddenly interrupted by the passing of a train entering the frame. It blurs the vision, covers the sounds of nature. Trains, as taught by Film History, represent a technological fascination, an industrial attraction, but are also the symbol of a progress careless towards the world and human beings (suffice to think of the founding myth of the Old West), aimed at commodities, at an economic rather than moral value. In the same way Ramiro, a debuting musician, is overwhelmed by the “productive machine” which seduces him, but also startles and scares him, because it sells off people and makes them all the same.

In 1962 Ernesto De Martino travelled to the South of Italy for his ethnographic research and shot "La Taranta". A study around women who were poisoned by a Trantula bite while harvesting in the fields. The remedy against the deadly poison was a folk dance called Taranta. The women danced the poison out of their bodies with the help of local musicians and priests. Studies around this phenomenon have highlighted that, in the majority of cases, these women were suffering severe mental illness and hysteria due to sexual abuse and poverty. In present-day Italy a similar dynamic has resurfaced, uncovering the stories of groups of immigrant women (mostly from Romania) who were victims of agricultural and sexual exploitation in Ragusa, Sicly. I reapprorpiated the 1962 archival footage to propose a different angle of the story surrounding these women. Not from the point of view of a man who has undertaken to observe them, but from the point of view of a woman from the South of Italy. (FF)

Like for all cities on the sea, Trieste's history is deeply interrelated with the history of its harbor. The human milieus of the harbor environment are at the foundation of the city, of how the community grew. To understand who we are today, and who we will be tomorrow, we need to reconstruct the memories that tell the story of the last century of the Trieste Harbor. The Harbor will always be there, and the transport of goods is still its main activity, but the ways in which the goods are transported have changed significantly, along with drastic cuts to the harbor's personnel.
