Milano, via Padova

MILAN VIA PADOVA. A document that was born out of an excess of zeal in an investigation into the people who live on the street. The film tells of racism and intolerance through singing that shows the sweetness of a forgotten rhythm. The unusual reality reaches performative peaks when personal and social problems are intertwined. It is a film on the verge of becoming. It was born as a synthetic work but like the themes it deals with, it prolongs its life over time. After four years it became a feature film.

COS ENDINS Inside the body

After so many generational repetitions and beneath so many layers is a territory to be negotiated beyond each person’s skin, inside: the cavity that echoes the intimate and singular identity of everyone. The voice that populate this film bring us to various spaces in Matera, from tourist agglomerations to the town’s internal spaces (grottes, caves, cisterns, lanes, rooms) and the body’s own unassailable space: pleasure and desire for other bodies that no one can cancel.

My Chair and I

Shut away in his home, at the top of a very steep staircase of thirty steps, Enzo Del Re manages—though not without effort—to bend the world to himself rather than be bent by it. A Puglian storyteller of extraordinary evocative power, Enzo Del Re is also a musician of remarkable innovative ability in musical production and in the use of humble, makeshift instruments. An icon of Apulian music, little known yet overwhelming once discovered. Through his story, three important decades of the Italian cultural scene are retraced, from Nanni Ricordi to Dario Fo, all the way to Nuova Scena and the Circoli Ottobre. Then darkness, and today the rediscovery of Del Re at the May Day concert in 2010 alongside Vinicio Capossela. Today he claims that he “did not fight for a pension, but for the revolution.”

Blind Mirrors

Blind mirrors is shot entirely inside the ballroom of Palazzo Valguarnera Gangi in Palermo which is characterized by the magnificence of the furnishings that inspired Luchino Visconti for the setting of the dance in the film “Il Gattopardo”. While Visconti had represented the detachment between the old declining aristocracy and the new bourgeoisie of the time, MASBEDO have recreated a scene in which the protagonist is a typical dance (Bharatanatyam) of the Tamil community, a minority well rooted in the city of Palermo.
