For Antonio Negri, renowned political philosopher and author of the international bestseller "Empire" (co-authored with Michael Hardt, 2000), a 17 year long chapter of repressive Italian politics of detention, exile, and imprionment recently ended.

2008 Teatro Rossini production of Michael Daugherty's 1997 chamber opera Jackie O, about the life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

The Zapatero government, in its first year in office, has resulted in the approval of numerous laws, some of which deal with particularly ethically sensitive matters and have aroused (and are arousing) great debate both within the country and abroad. In this context, a Spanish television station, impressed by the interest aroused abroad by these issues, particularly in Italy, wondered about the perception of these matters (especially same-sex unions) among the Italian population. That is why it sent its own crew to Italy, specifically to Rome and Lazio, to make a documentary focusing on their opinions, in an environment steeped in Catholicism and close, even physically, to the Vatican. Andrea Miguel Hernandez, director of the investigation, however, will find himself catapulted into a situation that is very personal to him. A woman he had loved in Madrid several years earlier now lives in Rome and is romantically linked to a woman...

Short super-8 found footage film by Danilo Torre.

Sixteen years ago, Vincenzo Romano left his wife, Francesca, and his two daughters, Bianca and Alessia, without saying a word. Today, the three women are at home, holding a closed-casket, private funeral for the man Francesca says is Vincenzo. The unusual ceremony, interspersed with vignettes from their lives, reveals the utter lack of communication between the three protagonists and their radically opposed natures. Francesca, always hardworking and devoted to others, has made her best to make this the perfect funerary service. Bianca, a selfish and whimsical girl who loathes their precarious economic situation and frequently clashes with her mother, could not care less for the funeral.

Marseille: Boulevard d'Athénes day and night, the Grande Joliette, the Corniche. Four stories, four views on the city. "Reviewing the images shot in Marseille for the feature film Flòr da Baixa, I immediately had the impression that a new film could be born from that material, largely already completed in the act of shooting, with minimal editing interventions, always taking away, without interventions on time and image. Thus Un Jour à Marseille was born, with great simplicity, the same as the little stories it shows. I believe it represents an important transition for me: from the subjective gaze of my early works to the evidence of reality, which is only apparently more transparent."

The incredible story of the 20 children of Bullenhuser Damm, little known in Italy until a few years ago, represents one of the most terrible manifestations of the senselessness of the Nazi policy of eliminating the Jewish people.

Production designer Massimo Antonello Geleng discusses in great detail the particular sets and decors that were utilized during the shooting of The Stendhal Syndrome.

“It is a material wound in a spiral that pierces time. Images, support for a trip lived alone, worry sliding on the screen, they write their own memory. A document that talks about a place, a memory, a feeling. Space is captured when it is disappearing to become an image. Signs, looks, actions, decompose to slide on the screen. The territory becomes an excuse to talk about yourself, to tell the story of our life. Time, images, sounds, rhythm become an abstract and documentary conception of movement and gaze.” - M. Rousset.
