TRAILERS

Death of a Star SPECIAL SCREENING

Director: Paolo Gonella
“Death of a Star” is about a lonely Hollywood actor facing the “death” of his identity, and in the process, letting go of every inch of sanity that keeps him going. Directed by Paolo Gonella, starring Anthony Sisco.

Via Curiel, 8

Director: Mara Cerri, Magda Guidio
Created from more than 4000 illustrations, Via Curiel tells the story of the brief, chance encounter between a man and a woman which expands the dimension of memory for both of them. The magazine Lo Straniero called the film "A recounting of harmonious, spectacular images, told with great economy and massive symbolic tension with a notion of magic rarely found these days."

Mr. Doyle

Director: Paolo Gonella, Alessia Mattia
In selection for both the Torino Film Festival 2011 and the Terra Di Cinema (2012), “Mr. Doyle” tells the story of a grief stricken writer whose alter ego, the titled Mr. Doyle, begins to wreak havoc on the young artist’s life. Will life imitate art, or will the young writer find a way to put a stop to the madness?

Suicidio di un paraplegico (2 di 10)

Director: Francesco Guttuso
In this second episode of a series, a paraplegic who is obsessed with tap dancing decides to commit suicide by trying out an electric wheelchair. To quote the director, "Against Christian piety, against rampant goodness. An outcast to the end, never a humane case."

SALVATORE

Director: Bruno & Fabrizio Urso
In the heart of Sicily, Alfio and Maria dream of escaping their blue collar circumstances. They struggle to survive in a society tainted by unemployment and job insecurity. Here, the right to start a family is a privilege that a worker can’t access without running the risk of losing his job.

Fireworks

Director: Giacomo Abbruzzese
For fifty years, Taranto has been home to Europe’s largest steel industry, an immense and hideous complex that occupies every economical, visual and imaginary horizon, making it the most polluted city in Western Europe. On New Year’s Eve, as the fireworks explode, an international group of ecologists decides to blow the entire factory up.
