Senza Nessuna Pietà

Italy | 2014 | col. 92

Mimmo would like to be just a bricklayer, as he prefers to build palaces rather than breaking bones. But retrieving credits, by hook or by crook, is part of his job, at least according to Mr. Santili, his uncle and employer. Mimmo lives in a pitiless world where there is no respect for rules or roles, if you want to survive without any problem: whether it is right or wrong, it is the only way he knows. Everything changes when he bumps into Tanya, a wonderful girl that will share with him the desire to escape from a sealed fate. But there is no way to hope for a new life without coming to terms with the past.

Medeas

Italy, Mexico | 2013 | 35mm | col. 98′

Medeas is an intimate portrait of a rural family’s inner lives and their relationship to a harsh and shifting landscape. Ennis, a stern, hard-working dairy farmer struggles to maintain control of his family and surrounding environment, while his wife, Christina, retreats into herself, progressively disconnecting from him and their five children.

A journey into the unpredictable boundaries of human behavior, Medeas explores the desperate lengths people are driven to by love and self- preservation.

C is not stimulated by everyday life and shares this malaise with two friends, S, a musician, and R, an ex-petrol pump attendant who lives an apathetic life between the stripped walls of his abode. This year C has been stealing fuel to realise his dream of burning the present day that doesn’t belong to him. C has continuous incendiary visions which are fleeting and powerless because they are only imagined by his mind and painted by his eyes. Meanwhile, three “tourists” arriving at the shore of the Adriatic get lost in the Capo di Leuca between abandoned, historical places, architectural ruins and the remains of a society. Whilst a cultural terrorist, locked in an old coastal tower, puts together words that perhaps no one will ever read.
