Democracy in America

Marlena Cooper is the first black Democratic candidate in the Republican fiefdom of Gregg County, East Texas. Democracy in America tells the story of the electoral campaign of Marlena and her Republican opponent Jay Dean, attempting to paint a picture of two communities that seem to live in parallel realities. In the first electoral campaign in 30 years that sees a Democratic candidate against the Republican Party, the characters and their stories will explore the themes of white superiority, abortion, firearms and, reconnecting to Toqueville's Democracy in America, the fundamental role played by religion in the young American democracy to emerge. A journey into the bowels of Texas, into the true heart of America, in search of the reasons, to discover the roots of the present and future of the United States.

Tannim

A strange plague which made the air unbreathable came crashing down on Earth and, as a result, led men to its relentless extinction. A boy with a gas mask wanders on a beach, snooping in the sand and wandering around without a clear destination, surrounded by the restlessness of the place and by the vigilant silence of the strange creature bringing chaos. One day, on one of the countless patrols, the boy finds what remains of a mannequin with a metal suitcase attached containing a video camera and a photo of a little girl. The unusual finding will lead the boy to question himself about the sense of his own existence as a survivor, devoid of any human contact.

Mk1

A oneiric and unsettling journey comes to life in Mk 1, the ideal follow-up to the short film Sfondo Giallo (2024). Born from the collaboration with Stefano Tiranti, composer and producer, the video weaves animation and music into a sensory experience suspended between reality and nightmare, where the protagonist faces a mysterious shadow that fractures his everyday life. In a crescendo of tension, driven by pulsing basslines, dramatic violins, and distorted guitar, Mk 1 drags the audience into a voyage toward the unknown, leaving open questions that await answers in the next short film.

Nothing particular

In a city shrouded in fog and flickering neon lights, an indie singer with a rough voice and a disillusioned look accepts a date with a girl he meets by chance, among the smoky tables of a nightclub. Their meeting unfolds amidst sharp silences, ill-timed jokes, and gazes that never meet. He seems distant, she skeptical. But something changes. A gesture, an off-script phrase, a song he absentmindedly plays while they wait for the bill. She turns. Then listens. Then stays. In black and white reflections of the streetlights, the indifference cracks. A romantic noir, just the right amount off-key.

Come to Light

A man, trapped in a white sheet, struggles on a bed as if drowning in a nightmare. In front of a similar sheet, in an empty movie theater, a mother breastfeeds her baby, immersed in deep silence. A silent film tells the story of a cow, marked with the number “432,” who wanders on a beach desperately searching for her missing calf. When the cow finds the dead calf, marked by the number “433,” the film dies with it: the sheet on which the film is projected falls onto the stage, enveloping the entire room in an even deeper silence. The number “433” evokes John Cage's famous silence, but here silence takes on a tragic meaning, representing the stillness of death. The same fate befalls the man on the bed, the embodiment of life within the film, whose movements cease simultaneously at the end of the film.

It matters

Reconstructing matter as having dynamic agency between a structuralist loop and a quote, this analogue short is a tribute to Donna Haraway and her seminal "Staying with the trouble", evoking women labour in the knitted content of the textual image: the frame depicts women hands knitting and is manipulated and scratched with knitting needles by my own hands. The nature of matter itself is a problem for women (for feminist theory). Thus this is a non-camera film, realized with anonymous found footage, which I hope suggests that knowledge is indeed an embroidered fragmented dynamic multi layered and embedded quilt, as much as matter.
