John Ford and Throwing

A short length work by revered critic and theorist Shiguéhiko Hasumi and Shô Miyake, editing together John Ford's thematic system of “throwing” across many of his films. Edited according to which and how much each throwing scene was written about in Hasumi’s John Ford book, this film serves as a definitive version of a collage film initially created by Shinji Aoyama ten years ago. Aoyama, who passed away in March 2022, never saw the completion of his teacher’s book. Recognizing this, Hasumi recommended that Shô Miyake create a definitive version of the collage film, allowing him total creative freedom within a 60-minute runtime limit.

Atuel

ATUEL is the story of a community and its river; of a river and its community. Everyone in the province of Mendoza, Argentina, lives in one of three oases. The southern oasis, home to the cities of San Rafael and General Alvear, depends primarily on The Atuel River. Yet incredulously, the river remains under threat. People cannot care for what they don’t know and so we decided to ask the river what story it would like to tell about itself. To do so, we travelled its entire length from its source in the heart of The Andes to where it dries out prematurely in the sands of The Cuyo Desert. We’re told we are the first to do so since 1884 and the first ever to do so by boat. 43 days. 480 kilometres. 38 people interviewed about their relationship with the river.

Senza fine

A timeless spa town, a 1940s hotel, a place that transports the present to who knows where. Not the past, Ornella Vanoni's life, but the revelation—current—of her intimacy, exhibited through a relationship: her relationship with the director. The energy, the character, the music, the confrontations, the heat, the fatigue. Everything is filmed without sparing anything, not even the arguments between Ornella and Elisa. The film goes along with what Ornella naturally generates and bends to the unexpected, to the present. And then there are the encounters with friends, musicians, Vinicio Capossela, Samuele Bersani, Paolo Fresu's trumpet resounding in the empty spaces of the grand hotel where, between identical days marked by care and treatment, the story, the memory, but also the future take shape as Ornella prepares to become a fantastic creature made of voice and dreams, destined for eternity.
