Nor(male) #4 (ep.26-35)

Testimonies of young women, the jealousy of their boyfriends, the indifference of their fathers, the intransigence of the stereotypes that pass through them. 10 episodes of an experimental web-series on sexism and gender violence, born immediately after the rape in Palermo in July 2023 in an attempt to build a counter-narrative that demystifies the macho and misogynistic mythologies of the media and the collectives, against the backdrop of anthropological considerations on “men who hate women”. Disturbing, percussive and pounding like all the works by canecapovolto, a place in which to penetrate the problem and extract its roots for a greater understanding of things. The series is copyright-free, it can be freely reshared by anyone.

Austentatious - I Don't Think So, Sir

My dear friends, it's time for us to welcome you to another 'lost' Jane Austen novel. It's been improvised from start to finish by the amazing cast of Austentatious. The actors conjure up the story from nothing, backed by fully improvised lighting, soundtrack and, now I come to think about it, our camerawork too. This is the third time we have recorded Austentatious, this time as part of their residency at the Arts Theatre in London's glittering West End.

Britain's Forgotten Prisoners

There are over three thousand forgotten prisoners languishing in jail in England and Wales, held indefinitely with no idea when they’ll be released, even though they completed their sentences years earlier. They’re IPP prisoners – people who were given an additional indeterminate sentence, Imprisonment for Public Protection. Martin Read’s film looks at the punishment described by Conservative former Justice Minister Ken Clarke as ‘a stain on the Justice System’, following both the stories of individuals trapped in a Kafka-esque world of labyrinthine bureaucracy that has seen them swallowed up by a system, and those campaigning for their rights as human beings to have their lives returned to them.

The Olive Tree and the Baobab

The baobabs of Africa and the olive trees of Southern Italy: what connects these two great trees, both parts of such distant worlds and cultures? An ancestral symbiosis has kept them intertwined with humanity and history for millennia; a fabric of religious beliefs and legends keeps them at the center of ancient symbols and rituals. Their fruits’ richness and the thousands of uses that communities have been able to find in the shadow of their mighty branches make them precious and irreplaceable. Today, even their suffering and their progressive decay unite them tragically, both victims of climate change caused by those who have always fed on them.

Cosmic Miniatures

At 91 years of age, Alexander Kluge is solidly regarded as a trailblazing figure in New German Cinema and the avant-garde. He remains active and curious about media, so it’s no wonder that he recently began experimenting with artificial intelligence. He has been exploring a particular programme developed in Munich for medical research, which he systematically strains in order to find his images at the farthest ends of the system's creative faculties. With these, Kluge plays in the same essayistic fashion beloved from his television work – historical footage and a plenitude of texts, comics, charts and cabaret. In short: facts and fictions freely intermingle.
