Two men are driving through the streets of Milan to transport a mysterious box. Their route is the source of other routes, which reveal an awareness of the city that was previously dormant. An awareness that is given to the viewer by the stories of the two men, now presented: Leonetto Di Ciolo and Felice Trovati. Felice is also the builder of a particular object, the Revisionist Bicycle, a pendulum clock constructed from bicycle parts that can alter the passage of time. We discover that it is precisely this totem that is the object transported at the beginning of the film, and that the two protagonists are on a mission: to place the bicycle-clock in a specific spot in the city, because Spring, understood as a form of endurance of wonder for apparently useless things, is Spring also in the city.

A man walks in a wasteland...again.Welcome to Città Sant'Angelo, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, located in the enchanting region of Abruzzo. In this short film, we will explore the charming streets, picturesque views, and breathtaking panoramas of this magical place.

In it, he did not describe the Abruzzo village in the best light. This visual journey combines tradition and modernity, art and nature, in an affectionate response to Pirandello's words.

Unearthed is a campaigning, yet whimsical, stop frame animation using natural clay, itself from the earth, to celebrate and explore the theme of healthy soil, teeming with life. We zoom down and focus in on ever-more tiny beings that inhabit this largely unknown biome beneath our feet. Choreographed to Strauss’s Blue Danube waltz, the film’s characters dance out of Pearl’s imagination, inspired by wiggling earthworms, fungal mycelium, bugs, and soil bacteria. Healthy soil is key to life on earth. In a germophobic world, where soil is mostly considered ‘dirt’, a location that disgusts because insects thrive and pathogens possibly lurk, Unearthed encourages us instead to fall in love with the tiny beings living there, and whispers an SOS - to ‘Save Our Soil’.
