Un Documento

We are at Niguarda, the most important hospital in Milan that has always been a point of reference for the homeless in the area. Today, the majority of patients are foreigners, to the point that in 2000, the Ethnopsychiatry service was created within the Department of Mental Health. It is here that those without a territorial reference find support within treatment paths. Often these are very vulnerable people, traumatized by the abuse suffered on the journey to Europe. The directors filmed three sessions at different times.

Between 2009 and 2011, I filmed and edited Nassim Lachhab's very first skateboarding videos in Rabat, Morocco. In 2020, after having lived in France and Spain, Nassim became the first Moroccan and African professional skater in history. Ever since then, I kept wondering: What had it been like for Nassim to rise to the forefront of the international skate scene, all the while wrestling with the challenges of immigration? In what way did his groundbreaking trajectory resonate with the current state of Morocco's skate scene?

Summer break at last!
 But instead of going on vacation, little Mika helps her father clean Frankfurt's apartment buildings. Not because she likes the work so much, but because it allows her to be close to her father. A man who has withdrawn since the death of his wife. This can be seen in her care waiting at night until her father comes home, buying his daily ration of beer with the tattered power of attorney or in her childish naivety as she admires the golden stumbling blocks while sweeping them and doesn't know what they mean. We experience two days in the life of a child that oscillates between being an adult and a child. A life between small, intimate and special moments of happiness, but also the confrontation with everyday racism and pain.

The Eye of the Hen

The Eye of the Hen is a story of violence and isolation without precedent in the Italian film industry. After twenty years as a filmmaker, with her best film released to critical acclaim and by some deemed a masterpiece that would cement her reputation with mainstream audiences as well, Antonietta De Lillo suffered an injustice that stopped her career in its tracks and relegated her to the backwaters of the industry, where she would be barred from making another feature film. Taking the form of a self-portrait, the film freely revisits the life and career of its subject, nearly forty years after her first film.
