Ne avete di finocchi in casa?

In Italian cinema, the figure of the homosexual has always been presented as a stereotype and in a deliberately offensive way, as if the only way to treat a subject that was to all intents and purposes a taboo was through parody or mockery. But it was in the cinema of the 70s, in all its various film types, from sexy comedies to detective stories, that we find gay characters constantly present in films, almost obsessively. Unfortunately, they were the butt of coarse, trivialising humour, which reflected the backward social attitudes and homophobia of the time. To understand the causes of this phenomenon, Andrea Meroni, a young director from Milan, met the leading actors and directors of that time (e.g. Lino Banfi, Enrico Vanzina and Leo Gullotta), as well as experts, critics and activists of the LGBTQI movement. The result? A surprisingly ironic documentary that talks about the way we were when we were 'froci' (fags).

Este sitio inmundo

It tells the story of the magazine Cerdos & Peces, which existed in Buenos Aires between 1983 and 2004. A fanatic reader, Huguito, recounts with nostalgia the years of the magazine's boom, the second half of the 80's, and especially its link with the alma mater of La Cerdos: the rebellious Enrique Symns. The Buenos Aires counterculture, the "democratic spring", rock, drugs, and the events of intense and erotic lives, are narrated by some of the journalists who wrote in the mythical magazine. The fan and the idol do not always go their separate ways, they meet in this filthy place.

Les fleurs du bitume

In the streets of Tunis, Chaima dances, Oumema paints graffiti and Shams slams. These three young women are of the same generation. They have to fight against the patriarchal system to find their place and express themselves through their art. They personify all the different shades of a common fight: freedom for women in their country. A pacific fight that they wage in the street, a space largely occupied by men in Tunisia, and that they have chosen to reconquer by the practice of Street Art.

Without This World

World, that is for the followers of a small Mennonite community in Argentina, all that is outside, beyond their community, where the "worldmen" live. Their everyday life is determined by an attempt to ward off everything modern, a life without electricity, machines and communicative media, a school whose only books are the Bible and the Catechism. Nora Fingscheidt takes this life in the eye and lets it be told by those who live it - in different degrees of devotion. In the process, it is not least apparent how a life-style, which has devoted itself entirely to the departure from this "world," is formed around it. And then, between the pictures and the words, a gap opens, in which the longing for a more destitute life, as well as the fear of a sad departure, becomes perceptible.
