For Pina poster
NR

Michele Bernardi has created a portrait of the dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch (July 27, 1940-2015), inspired by various film and video clips of her in the incessant studio of movement. The animation is rotoscoped and it recapture the almost abstract quality of dance. The soundtrack by Luca D’Alberto enhances the succession of images and recomposes a unique cameo whom the legendary Pina she is.

Djuma poster
NR

A wolf child on a destructive journey through civilization. Djuma is a work of some power in its study of the more violent aspects of the human psyche. With an almost sumptuous ease and design flair, the rampage through the countryside and cities has a resonance when one considers the riots that periodically besmirch all our countries.

Venditori Ambulanti poster
NR

Alfio Antico, a Sicilian musician, lives deeply attached to his land, to its traditions and to its painful and cruel rituals. The images of the earth, the wind and of dreams blend with a repetitive and tantric music that echoes the voice of the Sicilian street vendors.

Tinnitus #3 poster
NR

An introspective journey into troubled thoughts. A sleep always interrupted in search of a breath of peace, a whisper to life that has the eyes of death in front of a mirror. A struggle between anxiety, restlessness and calm, evoked by music composed by Claudia Ferretti and Piero Modena. The mix of animation techniques remains consistent with the idea of the uncertainty of dreams
