L'Italiana in Alegeri

Isabella Anna Goryachova Mustafà Alex Esposito Lindoro Yijie Shi Taddeo Mario Cassi Orchestra & Chorus of the Teatro Comunale di Bologna Conductor José Ramón Encinar Director Davide Livermore Recorded live at the Pesaro Festival, August 2013 Pesaro's new offering in 2013 was an off-the-wall production of Rossini's popular comedy, 'The Italian Girl in Algiers', presented as a Swinging Sixties, James Bond adventure, set in the desert oil fields of the North African coast. Davide Livermore's gag-a-minute, helter-skelter romp followed an alarmingly life-like air-crash, which delivered the 'Italian girl' from Rome into the clutches of the local oil baron, Mustafa. All three lead singers (Alex Esposito as Mustafa, the high tenor Yijie Shi as the young lover Lindoro, and Anna Goryachova as the agile-voiced mezzo-soprano of the title role) thoroughly distinguished themselves - and the audience roared its approval of the evening's entertainment.

A Tree Is Like A Man

A tree is like a man is an attempt to touch the otherworld through its edges. Shot on 16 mm in the Colombian Amazon, the film serves as personal witness to shaman Don William's lifetime relationship to Ayahuasca and other plant medicines that are native to the jungle. With the rainforest a rich labyrinthine background, this portrait is at once intimate and spare, opening up to alternate realities as dense as the jungle itself, with kaleidoscopic multiplicities in both the natural and the spiritual realms.

El último soldado

The particular reality experienced by Panama for almost a century due to the military presence of United States in the former Canal Zone is narrated through unpublished materials and revealing interviews with many of the social and cultural personalities who left their imprints in this story. The life in "the zone", the identity of the "zonians", the events that led to the handover of the military bases and the administration to the Panamanians are part of a plot as complex as the story itself.

Coría and the sea

This is a story about women who are fighters, tenacious, hopeful, active women…who were capable of lifting, from nothingness, in the harshest landscape of the world, life. They are the Sahrawi women. 40 years ago, they were forced into exile; the men of this region, marched to war and the women created “temporary cities”: The Refugee Camps. They invented a new day to day life which made possible a sustainable existence and a hope, of one day returning home. Coría every night dreams of the sea; the majestic image of its water, the sound of its waves, are the echoes that join the people with their homeland. The will beats in the hearts of the Sahrawi women who maintain their unbreakable spirit, ever moving forward.
