synopsis

The photo of a smiling boy in a striped t-shirt. In the beginning it is just a family moment, preserved and framed in a living room in a house in Rome. That same picture ends up on the cover of a newspaper, and then on the cover of every newspaper. It fills the screen behind presenters on the national news.

The boy in the photo is Alfredo Rampi. However, this documentary does not want to give an account of what happened to Alfredo; instead it tells the story of those who told his story. This is the tale of the media that made and distorted the story of Alfredo Rampi (and in doing so were radically altered themselves), severing it from fact and real people and transforming it into a watershed moment in the collective Italian consciousness.

synopsis

For a teenager, or a child, entering foster care means becoming a part of a protected zone that can save their life. This is the general assumption of every vicissitude that affects children that the community (and sometimes even their families) has deemed as “problematic” or “impossible to deal with.” However, every story has its own characteristics that make it unique and with a different ending for each protagonist.

“Protected Zone” is a docu-series that tells these unique stories through the voices of some of the children in foster care. To help them share their stories are five young filmmakers and directors, about the same age of the protagonists, who will try to understand and give back to the viewer a fragment of the lives of the children they met in different communities.

synopsis

Roberto, Domenico and Mario are bound by their wish to build a future in which the male cultural model distances itself from the concepts of competition and power, and instead bases itself on the richness of emotions and relationships. “Nel cerchio degli uomini” tells the personal and collective stories that emerge from the various activities carried out by their association, starting with the male self-awareness circle but also including discussion groups in schools on gender stereotypes, counselling for men who behave violently, and a Theatre of the Oppressed workshop and play on masculinity, organised by Oliver and involving men from different cultural backgrounds.

The director listens to them with discretion and attempts to capture the sense of their experiences and their investigation into emotions and relationships, and what seems to emerge – tentatively but encouragingly – is a new way of being men and an original quest for awareness and liberty.

synopsis

In the late afternoon of a normal day, all seems well in Rome until the moment a newsflash interrupts the television and radio programmes: a probable large-scale chemical-bacteriological attack threatens the city. Inhabitants must return to their homes or stay in the closed spaces in which they find themselves. As the streets empty and life grinds to a halt out fear of the terrorist attack, four men and four women will put their feelings for each other to the test, with their relationships either sinking or rising to the surface.

synopsis

Familiarity and intimacy are the emotions Vasco’s song immediately evoked in me. This is why I set the music video in Collegiove, the village where I grew up. As I was thinking about this video, I immediately envisioned Elio Germano wandering the streets where I used to play and from which I eventually strayed. Vasco’s words hold the essence of things we lost forever and at the same time the awareness of what we were able to reconnect with. This is why the day I saw Elio and Vasco walking together in the alleyways of my village enveloped in the mist, I was moved. In the music video, I tried to contain this emotion out of fear of losing it, restoring it later, little by little, using it almost as a cure for that ancestral pain that only beautiful music from the soul can evoke.
