The ambiguities of Verdi’s theatre are particularly clear in his baritone roles, among which is that of Boccanegra, corsair turned doge of Genoa and the troubled observer of the conflicts that tore apart 14th century landowners and peasants. An eminently political opera in which power struggles are interwoven with family conflicts, Simon Boccanegra echoes the life of its composer – the man who championed the cause of Italian unification and overcame the loss of his wife and children. Calixto Bieito, that most Shakespearean of opera directors, brings humanism and truth to a work haunted by gleaming images of the sea.

The opera, which lasts an hour and a half, was performed for the first time at the Teatro Dal Verme in Milan on 31 May 1884. The Italian libretto by Ferdinando Fontana is based on the story Les Willis that Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr developed his turn from the ballet Giselle, music by Adolphe Adam on text by Théophile Gautier (1841).

In Naples the term femmenèlla or femminiello refers to a homosexual male with feminine expressions. A reality that hides very ancient historical origins and that, not by chance, developed in Naples, a city that has always been able to be a laboratory of tolerance and acceptance. In the younger generations, however, we are now witnessing the dual phenomenon of enculturation, whereby some of those who in the past would have called themselves "femminielli" today call themselves, if anything, "trans." Lack of ideological support within the community creates fertile ground for the emergence of misunderstandings within the family environment, and trans Neapolitans often see themselves marginalized within their own families. This reality is seen through Alessia Cinquegrana, born as Giovanni, 29, the first trans bride in Italy, and Alessandro, 25, an actor and drag queen, an activist in the Neapolitan LGBT world.

Experimental short movie by Branco Pacitto

Men dressed in black confraternal clothes come out of a church, carrying with difficulty a large cross of iron and wood and walk without accompanists, without a band and without a procession. It happens in Monterosso al Mare, a tourist resort of the Cinque Terre (Liguria, Italy), where every year the rite of the Societas Mortis is staged, a pilgrimage that reaches the monastery of Soviore from the streets of the village at 800 meters above sea level. A ritual that, between contradictions and reinterpretations, continues to survive.

"In Rome, the author says, hidden among the little streets of the Pigneto and Tor Pignattara districts, an underground scene made up of strong women has developed. A scene full of passionate women who dedicate their lives to experimentation and free art expression(…) When I discovered their world I immediately felt involved, and I decided to make this documentary." The result is a generous choral documentary about the female music/performance scene in the eastern area of Rome. A documentary about love for music and art, about freedom to be what we really want to be, trying to discover our true identity, beyond the stereotypical roles imposed by contemporary society. A documentary about choosing to follow the talents and desires that are essential for life, our life's blood (linfa), and that give meaning to our existence. It is a story of female artistic activism that becomes political demonstrating that it is possible to oppose the ordinary and banal with alternative creative worlds.

On a cargo boat. Two Dutch brothers in their sixties. Faces and bodies marked by a whole life spent traveling on the Rhein, the Maas, the Danube... They are born on the water and the boat is their only house. The Watna measures 86 meters in length, 11 in width and 12 meters in depth. Most of the time Harrie and Leon are alone in their daily routine, while outside the landscape flows restlessly away at a constant speed of twelve kilometers per hour. Huge industries and romantic castles. Cargo boats and luxury cruises. Observed from the cabin, the river banks appear unapproachable and fleeting, bound to a parallel temporal state where every matter seems to float suspended. Meals are often solitary and there is only little time to rest: Watna cannot stop its rush against time, since the profit on carriage of raw materials barely covers the costs of the shipping.
