NRMade for the Liguria program: 90 years of cinema. The precious superimposition of two diaries: the personal one, written and filmed by the director and his companions of moments lived in Manarola, and that of Telemaco Signorini, an artist focused on the Cinque Terre who feels the need to nourish his figurative obsession with theoretical insights for that same place where Amico's daily life takes place with Olympic prosaicity.

7.0The events of Giuliano Sartori, correspondent from Genoa for a newspaper in the capital, involved in a complicated investigation set in a psychiatric clinic. Not a simple Italian thriller but a "Russian doll", an open story with different levels of reading and interpretation, in which the distance between the madness of authenticity of feelings and the sprawling social normality that leads to 'annulment of the person and loneliness. Collaborators on the subject and the script of the film are Bernardo Bertolucci and Enzo Carra.

NRNeorealism in cinema through the memories, reconsiderations and regrets of those who contributed to creating it and making it vital that season. From the return to the changed set of Rome, open city to the interview with Pasolini on the set of Uccellacci e uccellini.
