Short film by Francesca Fini.

This is the story of three very special women. Their names are Julia, Ivona and Sonia, but only when they are not wearing moustaches. When they are wearing them, they are called Julius Kaiser, Ivan the Terrible and Jurij Zontan Kurgan.

Karma is less of a survivor than an apparition—an afterimage that persists in a landscape that has been abandoned by humanity. She traverses the remnants of a civilization that has perished, where the Earth has reverted to a primordial battlefield where the great archetypes continue to clash. Or, it is possible that she is a forgotten divinity, reclaiming a domain of collapsed mines, rust-freckled sacrificial altars, and wind-tossed drifts of fabric that have been shed by billions of vanished bodies. She transforms into a living panopticon that fractures the surrounding ruin into a thousand recursive reflections, enveloped in a mantle of mirrored fragments.

This video, tells an untold, imaginary story set at the beginning of the twentieth century. Three children pose for a family photograph. They are young pioneers in a colony of Christian immigrants in Jerusalem. The photographer’s intervention has covered their bewildered faces with the false colors typical of the period, chromatic tones carrying the atmosphere of biscuits and warm milk, porcelain dolls, long sea voyages, dusty books, and a carefully staged innocence.

A Dadaist collage that plays on the concept of identity, elaborated through impossible selfies taken by the protagonists of famous masterpieces in the history of portraiture and self-portrait. What do you hide under your skin, flayed by the toxic radiation of mobile phones? What would Leonardo da Vinci or Andy Warhol have done with this evil device?

Short movie by Francesca Fini.

How do you see yourself in the mirror? We do not ever see how others see us, we do not see how we really are. This video is a dream about femininity. A woman meets her Golem, a piece of clay without features, to be fashioned at will.

Short movie by Francesca Fini.

"Ophelia did not drown” is a performance art film produced in collaboration with Istituto Luce Cinecittà. The movie integrates heterogeneous languages seemingly incompatible: the sociological national repertoire and original performance art specifically designed for this project. At the center the movie is an Ophelia who is different from any literary tradition: not the fragile teenager in love with Hamlet, but many women of different colors, features and ages. A modern contemporary Ophelia, very sweet but also cynical. Our Ophelia is not lost in the woods of Denmark, but in the countryside of Lazio, from the Gazometro to the junkyard in Cisterna di Latina, from the arid limestone caves of Riano Flaminio to the wonderful futuristic Villa Perugini in Fregene, passing through another thrilling scenic ride on a tourist bus in Rome. our Ophelia eventually does not drown, renouncing her destiny of romantic heroine to become a "normal person".
