A professor is called to hold a remedial course for six students suspended for disciplinary reasons. But when the clashes between the population and migrants break out, the situation quickly gets out of hand.

TRIA

In a dystopian Rome, a law is enforced which does not allow immigrant families to have more than three children. If a fourth is to be expected, he or she must be born, however, one of them must then be killed, giving the females priority for sacrifice. Zoe, Iris and Clio are three sisters, but one of them will soon be killed. Tria is a tragic story, suspended between life and death, set in the home of a family that has accepted to sacrifice its integrity in order to carve out a place in the world. A dystopian story, yet not so far from what could happen, or what, somewhere else, may have already happened.

Avremo ancora l’occasione di ballare insieme

One of the most highly regarded pairs of authors, directors and performers in European theater, Daria Deflorian and Antonio Tagliarini engage with Federico Fellini's cinematic imagery and his deep look into human lives. A work about meeting each other, dancing together, being a couple, intimacy and dialogue, loosely inspired by the film Ginger and Fred starring Marcello Mastroianni and Giulietta Masina as an elderly tap-dancing couple, Pippo and Amelia. The title comes from the reversal of a line Amelia says at the end of the film to Pippo: “I don't think we will have the chance to dance together again.” It is also a work dedicated to the performers, the masks they wear, and their determination to play all their lives.

Adoration

The island of Giudecca, south of the historic center of Venice, is the home of the Convent of the Convertite, which for about 200 years has been a women’s jail for the imprisonment and rehabilitation of condemned prisoners. Even before that, the building was a convent where prostitutes and women considered immoral were locked up against their will. Nevertheless, behind those walls, and in particular in the parlor, there is another story, and according to this story women performed for high society offering shows of transvestism, sometimes even blasphemous.

The new Communist government closes the borders and places dozens of conditions on Italy for the repatriation of its citizens.

An operator of the Fascist propaganda effort, he has been traveling around Albania with his movie camera for five years. Before that, for almost two decades, he had immortalised the great machine of the regime. Now, by a twist of fate, being the only cameraman around, Alfredo has been asked to work on behalf of Communist propaganda. Shut up in his storeroom, surrounded by thousands of reels of film, Alfredo watches what he has shot again on an old Moviola. It is his film that we are watching. And perhaps, not his alone.
