A newsletter meets home movie, made by an experimental filmmaker who was constructing a papier mâché skeleton but whose leg (the filmmaker’s) suddenly went wrong.

A cat wandering among the pastures, the sparks that emerge among the red embers of a fire, a man walking under the shadow of high trees in the middle of a forest, a distant fire, the ghostly figure of firemen at night: these are some of the minimal postcards that make up the enormous beauty of the Manantiales mountains, in the outskirts of Córdoba, Argentina.

Technological advances and cultural development have disrupted the balance between humankind and other animals. Instead of looking at similarities, we focus on differences. Coexistence has been replaced by dominance. We have forgotten that we live in a house that does not belong only to us. However, the ties between humans and other inhabitants of the animal kingdom have not been irreversibly broken. In his visual essay, which is both intimate and philosophical, Alessandro Cattaneo focuses specifically on those things that connect us. The statements of thinkers and idyllic shots of interspecies interactions indicate that if we change the way in which we think about animals, it will be beneficial for the entire ecosystem.

Two New Yorkers fall in and out of love over the course of five years. Written by Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown, the play is now produced in an entirely new and innovative way. It is the musical’s unconventional structure that is allowing this brand-new, highly innovative form of streamed theatre to be created. Jamie tells his story chronologically from their love-at-first-site meeting, whilst Cath tells her story in reverse, from the end of their turbulent relationship to the start. This means the two characters do not directly interact except for one song in the middle of the show when their timelines intersect.

A one-of-a-kind cinematographic experiment. A grotesque fairy tale, staged in the real lives of the characters. A completely self-produced movie, designed and directed by two visual artists, with the purpose of telling the tale of Artaserse, a retired worker, boxer, trainer and life-long painter. Everything is staged in an industrial, now decadent Terni; like a steel bay without the sea, here it's difficult to dream about becoming an artist. This movie is like a suburban western movie; the boxer and the painting dancing the communal square dance together, in life and death, the meeting-match between Artaserse and an allegorical and remorseless art world, and more generically, the battle of all the colorful characters, appearing throughout.

Three years, between 2015 and 2018, tell the story of an Italy that, in a schizophrenic manner, opened and then closed its doors to migrants, leaving stories, dreams, plans and budding relationships out in the cold, all in the name of the (overly enthusiastic) call for integration.

Commissioned for Art in Romney Marsh, "With Silver Bells" dives into Whitebread’s past and present interactions with nature using photograms and both her and her mother’s video footage to try and grasp how we as humans can rethink our interactions with non-humans. The work was created during Whitebread’s self-initiated residency on the Marsh, a place that she often returns to in her work both physically and mentally. Heavily influenced by Derek Jarman’s writings on gardening, Whitebread tries to open up a wider discourse on our role as humans on planet Earth. The film is an experimental video focused on unhinging our commonplace connections between language, images and perceptions of nature by exploring her own sensual and somatic feelings towards the Marsh, experiencing the geography as an important site of creative and ecological insight. Using photograms as a tool enables the artist to play with slow/non-human time and to imagine her own ecological existence.

The texture of memory gains bearing and its own sounds in a narrative which, stemming from image fragments (such as our memories), refuses to reiterate the expectation of violence and aggression in the bodies of Syrian men persecuted in certain territories. These bodies are managed by nothing but tenderness, fraternity. And this time narrated from the point of view of a woman, who also speaks of these cyclical processes of caring for one another.

Documentary that explains the current climate of political turmoil in the north of Africa caused by the embedded problem of the decolonization of Western Sahara. A region on the brink of war.

A spontaneous conversation allows for the structure of a possible film. When joining those words with 16 mm footage and rolls of old photographs, the images start to burn and their ignition fosters questions about what memories are, how they are archived and preserved, and which of them vanish without a trace.
