Memory Is an Animal, It Barks with Many Mouths

Eva Giolo’s latest work takes us to Val Gardena, where people still speak Ladin, a Rhaeto-Romance language. Giolo subverts the usual representation of mountain communities to deliver a portrait of a precious cultural heritage in constant evolution. Here, the inhabitants preserve and nurture their culture for future generations with awareness of the world and creativity. Shot on 16mm film sensitive to the grandeur and fragility of nature, Memory Is an Animal, It Barks with Many Mouths is an exquisite essay on the vital importance of linguistic diversity. Made in Ladin language.

Monte Corno - I Thought I Was Flying

On the 19th of August 1573, Francesco de Marchi climbed the impervious and rocky peak of the Corno Grande, the highest mountain of the Italian Appennin range, accomplishing an epic feat for his time: reaching a peak out of curiosity. He wrote his Chronicle anticipating by 213 years the ascent of Mont Blanc accomplished by Balmat and Paccard on 8 August 1786. 450 years after the feat, the film recounts the climb, narrated by Francesco De Marchi's own words, with spectacular images of the climb among the calcareous rocks of the Corno Grande.

Master and Servant

A film about the Neapolitan lower classes. A close-up account of the daily struggles and aspirations of those without power, money, education, or a public voice. The stories of Pio, a precarious worker in the tourism industry; that of Ugo's family, seeking truth and justice; and finally that of the organized unemployed who have been fighting for years for decent work, reflect three movements on a single trajectory, uniting the lives of the invisible, the voiceless of the city.

Blackout Dreams

In Cuba, the nights are very dark indeed when there’s yet another power outage—but as much as possible, life goes on. People find their way around in the pitch dark, cyclists loom out of the blackness, children hang out on the streets by the light of flashlights. At the same time, the disruption appears to create intimacy: a priest takes the opportunity to open the Bible by candlelight and reads about the creation of light and darkness, an aged blind singer plays the guitar for his wife in their bedroom, a boy and his teacher play endless games of chess in the half-light, a fisherman heads calmly into the water with a lantern. Headlights from passing cars flash over houses shrouded in darkness, while the people inside sing and talk under the glow of portable lights.

unidentified

From 1947 to 1969, the U.S. Air Force carried out a systematic study of unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings, codenamed “Project Blue Book.” Thousands of reports from American and European citizens were recorded during those years; more than 700 cases remained “unidentified.” The film reuses original documents from the now-declassified project, superimposing them over family footage from the same period. In the encounter between the domestic and the scientific, the familiar and the alien, a hidden portrait emerges of a nation haunted by its own astronomical obsessions.

Shadow of the Valley

For a little over a year, I filmed and spliced ​​together different moments of which, to be honest, I don't remember much. The final result was edited onto two 600ft reels. There is no chronological progression, only fragments of a diary that I like to see as imaginary. I started filming in the spring with the aim of testing eight cameras. I filmed when I felt like it, day after day, and by the time summer arrived, I had accumulated a few reels and other old cameras. So in the winter, I decided to give shape to a film containing mistakes, notes, drafts, moments, and walks with pretty girls in the shadow of the valley where I grew up. "Shadow of the Valley" is my most personal and intimate work, made for myself only. I think anyone else will find it fake, self-centered, and downright pretentious.
