In 1972, a small group of young students from the UNL, riding in a dilapidated Gordini, arrived at a deserted rural area near Estación Matilde (Santa Fe) to film a short film on the theme of leisure, inspired by texts by Cesare Pavese. From the silent images emerge the exploration of homoeroticism and the male nude as aesthetic-political dimensions that contrast with the canonical production of the Institute and its time. The short was never finished and released, until it was found in 2025.
The film is a denunciation of Western capitalist society, which exploits the poorest regions in the world's Orient. The film opens with a closeup on a newspaper article that reads, « What Italian industry offers Asia. Modern manufacturing, sophisticated technology and willingness to do business with the East ». The following sequence is set on a beach, where musicians play Arabic music, and a dancer moves sensually. At a certain point the director, Luginbühl, interrupts the scene, even slapping the dancer's face. This is clearly an allegory of how Western capitalism exploits and enslaves the East.

Footage from rare guerilla recordings of Q&As of IT IS NOT THE HOMOSEXUAL WHO IS PERVERSE, BUT THE SOCIETY IN WHICH HE LIVES following the film’s debut as part of MoMA’s Cineprobe program, and another downtown theater. Shoddily assembled from segments of handheld 16mm footage and roughly synchronized with a reel-to-reel audio recording, the footage features the audience haranguing Praunheim about the possible effects of the film on the perception of the queer liberation movement, both in New York (just a year or so after Stonewall) and internationally. Although the film’s reception may strike us as trite today, it’s a vital document of the trends in activism of the era, as well as MoMA’s role in fostering debate. – Museum of Modern Art
In 2022, the Museo Nazionale del Cinema in Turin received around 200 1950s-60s Crodino adverts from the Centro Studi Piero Ginocchi of Crodo. Volunteers had rescued the films from destruction, prompting the Museum to begin cataloguing them to trace their history and features. The ads, created by various production companies, include works by Gamma Film, founded by Luigi and Roberto Gavioli—key postwar Italian animators. Their collaboration with entrepreneur Piero Ginocchi, creator of the “light, non-alcoholic drink with a refined flavour,” led to numerous adverts that boosted Crodino’s popularity. Gamma Film mixed animation with live action and featured Brigitte Bardot for her iconic voice and persona. However, Bardot never holds the product on screen; her status as a sex symbol—especially after And God Created Woman (1956)—provoked backlash from Catholics. SACIS, RAI’s advertising agency, banned such imagery, so the drink was instead placed in the hands of everyday consumers.
