out of the blueAnche gli psicanalisti possono cadere in depressione! Lo sa bene Marcello (Claudio Bisio), psicanalista cialtrone e cinico, che un giorno decide di chiudersi in casa e mollare tutto. Questo gesto “estremo” non viene accolto bene da Silvia (Anna Foglietta), segretaria di Marcello, che decide di radunare i suoi pazienti per cercare, tutti insieme, di farlo uscire dalla crisi. Un’ idea bellissima, se non fosse che, ad aiutare Silvia, ci saranno: uno spacciatore affetto da attacchi di panico (Marco Giallini), un quarantenne mammome cronico (Massimiliano Bruno), una ninfomane decisamente invadente (Paola Minaccioni) una coppia in crisi sessuale (Paolo Sermonti e Caterina Guzzanti) e un telecronista in crisi per il tradimento della moglie. Strampalati, ma affettuosi e divertenti, i pazienti di Marcello cercheranno in ogni modo di tirargli su il morale!

Plot

PlotCanada British English Canadian Flag icon

out of the blueNovember 2013, Milan, a Palestinian poet and an Italian journalist meet five Palestinians and Syrians who fled the war in Syria to Lampedusa, Italy. They decide to help these refugees continue their journey to Sweden, where they will claim refugee status and hopefully start a new life. To avoid being arrested as traffickers, the filmmakers enlist the help of their friends and disguise the group as a wedding party, complete with a fake bride and wedding guests. Together they embark on an emotional and physical journey across Europe, travelling over 3000 kilometres in four days. Along the way, the refugees share their harrowing stories, their dreams and fears, leaving a lasting impact on their benevolent “traffickers”, and on the audience.

Guido is shy, reserved, well-educated. Antonia is restless, touchy and proudly ignorant. He is a night porter who loves ancient languages and saints, she is an aspiring singer and works for a car rental company.They see each other only in the early mornings when Guido returns from work and wakes her with breakfast, and they make love every blessed day.
http://laltraitalia.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/medicineseller.jpg
They are the characters of a fun, romantic love story which unfolds in a complicated metropolis like Rome, with coarse, cheerful, desperate neighbors, and two families of origin which couldn’t be more different. A love that seems indestructible, until the obstinate thought of a child that doesn’t come sets unpredictable consequences in motion.

Italian Cinema in the World and Its Ambassador

 Italian Cinema in the World and Its Ambassador
Italian Contemporary Film Festival honours Andrea Iervolino

AndreaI1An Ambassador is a symbol. An Ambassador plays the highest and most prestigious role when two sides connect with each other when coming to an agreement, or for a new undertaking to be initiated through the contribution of different actors. Ambassadors promote, facilitate, foster, and
-most of all- they have a vision. They can see all the potentials hidden in most difficult situations.

Until few years ago, a stream of exchanges of experiences and ideas between Italy and North America through film production was something rarely achieved, let alone specific projects, finalized by the actual production of films. Nowadays, this is a reality in progress thanks to the enthusiasm and the entrepreneurial efforts of Andrea Iervolino.

The Italian Contemporary Film Festival is proud to announce that the Award for “Ambassador of Italian Cinema in the World” will be presented to Andrea Iervolino for his achievements in film production and distribution.

Andrea Iervolino, who has been a producer since the age of 16
, has produced, financed and distributed more than 40 features. A partner and founder of a number different production companies, he is currently the youngest and most highly regarded Italian entrepreneur in the filmmaking sector. However, Iervolino’s most important and valuable contribution is the permanent bridge he has created between the two shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Thanks to him, Italian creativity meets North American production power and professional excellence.

Iervolino’s projects and realizations expand from genre films to dramas, from independent productions to animation films: a wide array of high quality offers, directed by great filmmakers from Italy and North America such as Barry Levinson, Marco Risi, James Franco, and starring great actors such as Al Pacino, Greta Gerwig, Sarah Jessica Parker, Raoul Bova, Robert Duvall, Alec Baldwin, Danny Glover, Daryl Hannah.

We would like to congratulate Andrea, but we would also like to thank him for his passion and his enthusiasm. Through his work, he shows us the way to a brighter future of more projects that will tie Italian and Canadian film industries, opening new avenues to quality entertainment.

Italo’s arrival causes a terrible uproar in the village, everyone there is fiercely opposed to having stray dogs around. Everyone except Meno, a precociously wise 10 year-old, who is lonely and introverted. Since the passing of this mother, Meno has shut everyone out, including his workaholic father. It will take the unconditional love of a special dog like Italo to force Meno out of his shell, leading him into a series of adventures that will teach him the difference between acting like a grown up and actually becoming one.

Al suo arrivo la città è in subbuglio: nessuno vuole saperne di cani randagi in giro. Nessuno tranne il piccolo Meno. Meno ha dieci anni, ma uno sguardo già adulto e perennemente accigliato. Da quando sua madre non c’è più si è chiuso in se stesso. Ci vorrà tutto l’affetto di un cane speciale come Italo per farlo uscire dal guscio. E Meno si lascerà coinvolgere in una serie di avventure che gli insegneranno la differenza tra atteggiarsi adulto e diventarlo veramente.

Unfortunately Timo is not exactly gladiator material! He just wants to hang out with his friends, Ciccius and Mauritius, and avoid his stepfather’s bizarre training sessions at all costs! However, when Timo encounters the lovely Lucilla, he decides to change his life and bring out the valour inside himself that has never shown itself before. Through sorcery, crazy escapades in the woods and the intense training from a personal female trainer, Timo has to transform himself into the greatest gladiator of all times. And as they say in Rome, if “fortune favours the bold” … hard times are awaiting Timo!

Purtroppo la vita da gladiatore non fa proprio per Timo, la cui unica aspirazione è spassarsela con gli amici Ciccius e Mauritius, sfuggendo alle bizarre sessioni di allenamento del suo patrigno. Ma quando incontra la dolcissima Lucilla, Timo vuole dare una svolta alla propria vita e dimostrare tutto il valore che finora non ha mai avuto. Fra stregonerie, pazze scorribande nel bosco e gli addestramenti intensi con una personal trainer, l’impresa di Timo sarà quella di trasformarsi nel piu grande gladiatore di tutti i tempi. E se a Roma si dice che “la fortuna aiuta gli audaci”… per Timo si prevedono tempi durissimi!

Plot

Michele is 13 and lives in a quiet seaside town. Nobody would say he is popular at school nor is he a brilliant student nor is he very good at sports. But deep down, he does not care. Michele would settle for catching the attention of Stella, the girl he cannot help looking at in class, but he has the feeling that she is totally unaware of his presence. One day, the monotony of normal life is shattered by an extraordinary discovery: Michele looks in the mirror and finds that he is invisible. The most incredible adventure of his life is about to begin.

Trama

Il film ha per protagonista Michele, un adolescente apparentemente come tanti che vive in una tranquilla città sul mare. Non si può dire che a scuola sia popolare, non brilla nello studio, non eccelle negli sport. Ma a lui in fondo non importa. A Michele basterebbe avere l’attenzione di Stella, la ragazza che in classe non riesce a smettere di guardare. Eppure ha la sensazione che lei proprio non si accorga di lui. Ma ecco che un giorno il succedersi monotono delle giornate viene interrotto da una scoperta straordinaria: Michele si guarda allo specchio e si scopre invisibile. La più incredibile avventura della sua vita sta per avere inizio.

Résumé

Souffre-douleur de ses camarades, Michele (Ludovico Girardello), 13 ans, connaît une adolescence difficile. Il vit à Trieste avec sa mère (Valeria Golino), lieutenant de police, et passe la plupart de son temps sur son téléphone portable à contempler Stella (Noa Zatta), une jeune fille de sa classe, même s’il a le sentiment d’être totalement transparent à ses yeux. Convié à une fête costumée, il n’a pas d’autre choix que de s’y rendre vêtu d’un costume de super-héros chinois acheté dans un bazar. Le lendemain à son réveil il découvre qu’il détient un don incroyable : il est devenu invisible. La vie de Michele change du tout au tout : l’adolescent effacé, perdu, en manque d’identité se transforme en un super-héros intrépide…

Il se trouve rapidement mêlé à une étrange affaire de kidnapping d’enfants. Un étrange psychologue (Fabrizio Bentivoglio) suit de très près l’enquête.

Plot

Born of mistral winds and witness to the birth of Western Civilization, the waves of the Italian coast have carried merchants, fishermen, travelers and kings.

Filmmaker Jason Baffa chronicles Chris and his friends Dave Rastovich, Lauren Lyndsey Hill, Conner & Parker Coffin and Italian stand-outs Alessandro Ponzanelli and Leonardo Fioravanti as they explore the burgeoning new surf culture blossoming among the Mediterranean’s oldest and cherished traditions – an intimate and powerful journey of self-discovery, seeped in culture and passion.

Plot

On June 10, 1940, Prime Minister Mackenzie King announced the detainment and internment of Italian-Canadians considered a threat to the safety of our country. Under the guidelines of the War Measures Act, the RCMP were given freedom to arrest any person with ties to an Axis nation without proof of threat, disloyalty, or subversion to our government. Out of 150,000 immigrated and Canadian born Italian-Canadians, 30,000 were listed as “enemy aliens” and over 700 were interned in camps. Some interned men lost sons fighting in the war, others enlisted in the war for Canada once released.

Nel documentario Piazza Petewawa: The Paradox, Noto padroneggia magistralmente le riprese: “L’attenzione ai dettagli è evidente nella capacità del regista di catturare sapientemente […] l’essenza di questo pezzo di storia, quasi sconosciuto, ma significativo, della storia del Canada” – Moira Romano – Fondatrice di ETV film Inc..

Trama

Piazza Petewawa: The Paradox è una storia canadese raccontata dalle famiglie degli italocanadesi internati durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Il documentario di Rino Noto rende onore alle esperienze degli italocanadesi confinati nel campo di concentramento di Petawawa per essere ‘nemici stranieri’. Tramite interviste con personaggi di spicco come il Senatore Consiglio Di Nino e l’ex Giudice della Corte Suprema del Canada Frank Iacobucci, il documentario presenta il contest di unapagina vergognosa della storia canadese..

After assisting Luca Buglione, the head of the Camorra, Perez decides to strike a deal.

Trama

Demetrio Perez è un avvocato d’ufficio che difende i delinquenti. La sua carriera è sfumata con il suo matrimonio, di cui Tea, la figlia, è l’unico bagliore. Rassegnato e inerte, si trascina nella vita, lasciando che siano gli altri a scegliere per lui. In un giorno come tanti a Napoli assiste Luca Buglione, capo camorrista che ha deciso di collaborare con la Giustizia ma alle sue regole. Determinato a recuperare una partita di preziosi diamanti nascosti nella pancia di un toro, Buglione propone a Perez uno scambio. Se l’avvocato lo aiuterà nell’impresa, lui troverà modo e occasione per incastrare Francesco Corvino, giovane camorrista rivale che ha una relazione con Tea. Infine Perez infrange ogni regola. E ogni legge.

Résumé

Demetrio Perez, incorruptible avocat de Naples, est un criminaliste de renom, peut-être l’un des meilleurs de son temps, qui défend les plus faibles toujours dans le respect des règles. Cependant, après que sa fille Tea tombe en amour avec Francesco Corvino, jeune membre d’une famille criminelle appartenant à la Camorra, les choses commencent à aller mal. En effet, Perez décide de défendre Luca Buglione, le chef d’un clan rival de la famille Corvino, concluant un accord avec lui: si l’avocat avait récupéré pour Buglione un lot de diamants de contrebande, le chef mafieux repenti aurait témoigné contre Francesco. Ainsi, Perez se rend vite compte qu’il doit prendre le contrôle de la situation, tout en franchissant la limite entre légalité et vie criminelle, afin de protéger sa famille en danger.

Plot

Italy in a Day is a Riley Scott idea brought to life by Gabriele Salvatores in an elegant and creative way. Italians from all over Italy were asked to record and send in videos or images via smartphone, cameras, video cameras etc. Their mission was to record a 24 hour day on October 26th, 2013. Wishes, dreams fears, reflections, and views from balcony windows were submitted because this film is a collection of ideas that each individual submitter found interesting to them. For Italians, this became an emotional diary of fragile moments, of happy moments and moments of distress. It can be called a “Social Movie” in the perspective of the everyday person, with a true sense of passion and respect for the simple everyday life.

Trama

Italy in a Day è l’edizione italiana, curata da Gabriele Salvatores, di un progetto di Ridley Scott. Agli italiani è stato chiesto di inviare dei video amatoriali realizzati con telecamere, smart phones, fotocamere etc., da girare durante le 24 ore del 26 ottobre 2013. Desideri, sogni, paure, riflessioni. Tutto l’accaduto di una giornata di vita qualunque. Italy in a Day è un diario emotivo, una confessionie laica, la voglia di condividere i propri sentimenti attraverso le immagini, uno psicodramma italiano collettivo, di volta in volta tenero, grintoso, divertente o disperato. Un ‘social movie’ realizzato con passione, un mosaico di punti di vista sulla realtà

Plot

This is the story of sports idol, Gino Bartali and other courageous Italians who helped rescue the Jewish community, partisans and refugees from extermination in a Nazi-occupied Italy.  Bartali worked within a secret network alongside thousands of other like-minded Italians who risked their lives to save those being persecuted from capture and death. While the entire continent was engulfed in a genocide, which took the lives of nearly 6 million Jewish people in the rest of Europe, more than 80 percent of Italy’s Jewish people survived with the help of this secret network. Bartali, like most of the rescuers, never sought recognition or reward for his efforts and few of those he helped knew his name or what role he played in their rescue.

Questa è la storia di Gino Bartali, un idolo nel mondo del ciclismo, e di altri italiani coraggiosi che hanno aiutato a salvare ebrei, partigiani e rifugiati dallo sterminio nell’Italia occupata dai nazisti.  Insieme a migliaia d’italiani, Bartali formò una rete segreta il cui scopo era il salvataggio di coloro che rischiavano incarcerazione, oppressione e morte.  Mentre l’Europa subiva un genocidio che prese la vita di circa sei milioni di ebrei, più dell’80 percento degli ebrei in Italia sopravvissero grazie all’ingegno di questa rete segreta.  Bartali, come molti altri eroi dell’olocausto, non cercò mai di essere premiato o riconsciuto per il suo eroismo, e pochi di quelli che furono salvati potettero conoscere chi fosse.

C’est l’histoire de l’étoile du cyclisme Gino Bartali et d’autres Italiens courageux qui ont sauvé de nombreux Juifs, partisans et réfugiés, à l’époque de l’occupation allemande. Avec des milliers d’autres Italiens, Bartali a fait partie d’un réseau secret dont le but était de sauver ceux qui risquaient d’être emprisonnés, opprimés ou tués. Alors qu’en Europe le génocide des Juifs a causé la mort de près de six millions de personnes, plus de 80% des juifs en Italie a survécu grâce à la mobilisation de ce réseau. Bartali, comme beaucoup d’autres héros de l’Holocauste, n’a jamais cherché à avoir une reconnaissance pour son héroïsme et peu parmi ceux qui ont été sauvés ont su ce qu’il a fait pour eux.

Trama

Il documentario, realizzato con i materiali dell’Archivio Luce, narra un’avventura poco conosciuta: il tentativo del fascismo di creare una lingua unica, un “italiano nuovo” adeguato ai dogmi della dittatura, tra neologismi, indottrinamento scolastico e repressione delle diversità. Un insieme di voci, propaganda e citazioni da testi d’epoca, che raccontano la follia e l’inevitabile disfatta, attraverso le parole del duce, l’indottrinamento dell’infanzia, la repressione di tutto ciò che era diverso rispetto all’ideale dell’italiano nuovo che doveva adeguarsi al dogma di “credere, obbedire, combattere”.

Grazie ai moderni media, tra cui radio, televisione, cinema, manifesti, indottrinamento scolastico e repressione dei nemici, si da il via ad un nuovo cambiamento, destinato però a fallire.

Résumé

Un voyage à travers la remise en état de la langue italienne tentée par le régime fasciste. La linguiste Valeria Della Valle et le directeur Vanni Gandolfo racontent l’histoire peu connue de la volonté politique de l’Italie fasciste de créer une nouvelle et unique langue nationale, un “nouvel italien” soumis aux dogmes de la dictature, dans une Italie où ils existent différents dialectes et où le Roi parle français. Grâce à la télévision, au cinéma, à la propagande, aux néologismes, l’endoctrinement de l’école et la répression de la diversité, c’est le début d’une importante tentative de changement, malavisée et autoritaire, plutôt que respectable et crédible, qui sera vouée à l’échec, découvrant que la une langue nationale ne se construit pas avec des édits.

Plot

The Istituto Luce turned ninety in 2014, and to celebrate its anniversary some of the most acclaimed rising filmmakers in Italy were invited to make a small film. Each had the job of selecting ten minutes of footage from the archives. The film footage speaks of the outbreak of war, implorations of peace, landscapes, lost realities, miracles, superstitions and dreams. It’s a weave of themes: a diverse picture with one common thread that contains images from the Archives. This is not the Italy in history books, but Italy as it is (or isn’t) today, seen through sequences often filmed when our nine directors weren’t even born. This is a collection of present-day Italy through images from its past.

Trama

In occasione del 90esimo anniversario dell’Istituto Luce nel 2014, nove registi emergenti del cinema italiano hanno realizzato ciascuno 10 minuti di pellicola con immagini tratte dal patrimonio dell’Archivio Luce. Nove temi legati alla vita e alle scelte di tutti i giorni, ai valori e alle consuetudini della società dai primi anni ’20 agli anni ’70 del Novecento, ci sono le voci dei grandi scrittori accanto a quelle di persone comuni, personaggi reali e storici, e personaggi di pura finzione.  Da anni il Luce si impegna a sganciare l’immagine dell’Archivio Storico da quella di Mussolini, cercando di farsi conoscere al pubblico come Archivio ricco di contenuti storici che esulano dai discorsi ufficiali di potere e dalle dichiarazioni di guerra.

À l’occasion du 90e anniversaire de l’Istituto Luce en 2014, neuf réalisateurs émergents du cinéma italien ont réalisé chacun un petit film de 10 minutes, avec des images extraites de l’héritage de l’Archivio Luce. Neuf thèmes liés à la vie quotidienne, aux valeurs et aux coutumes sociales du XXe siècle, à partir des années ’20 jusqu’aux années ’70. On y retrouve les témoignages de grands écrivains aux côtés des gens ordinaires, des personnages historiques et des personnages de la pure fiction. Depuis longtemps, l’Archivio Storico Luce s’efforce de dissocier sa propre image de celle de Mussolini, en essayant de se faire connaître du public plus pour son contenu historique que pour les discours officiels du pouvoir et des déclarations de guerre.

Résumé


C’est le rêve olympique de quatre hommes désavantagés qui découvrent le curling par hasard et qui sont convaincus de pouvoir participer aux Jeux olympiques d’hiver de 2006 à Turin. Dans le cadre de cet événement sportif, l’Italie, en tant que pays hôte, aura le droit de bénéficier d’une équipe déjà qualifiée. Ainsi Bruno, Salvatore, Ottavio et Neno commencent à se préparer, mais ils sont toujours maladroits : ils s’ingénient à planifier des séances d’entraînement absurdes; ils ne respectent pas les règles du jeu; ils provoquent les adversaires. Après plusieurs péripéties, les quatre amis deviennent champions d’Italie, obtenant le droit à participer aux Jeux olympiques. Cependant, ils comprennent que, pour accomplir leur mission, ils doivent essayer de devenir des hommes meilleurs.

Trama

Nicola Sansone è proprietario di un podere confiscato dalla Sato e assegnato a una cooperative che però non riesce per questioni burocratiche e sottili boicottaggi- ad avviare l’attività. Per questa ragione i soci scrivono a un associazione esperta di beni confiscati alle mafie. Il loro aiuto viene mandato Filippo, un uomo che da anni combatte la mafia da un ufficio, e quindi impreparato ad affrontare la questione ‘sul campo’. Numerosi sono gli ostacoli che Filippo incontra e le paure che deve superare, e spesso deve resistere all’impulso di mollare tutto: lo trattengono il senso del dovere, le strane dinamiche di questa cooperativa di insolite persone cui inizia ad affezionarsi, ed anche Rossana, la bella e determinata ragazza che ha dato il via a tutta l’iniziativa.

Plot


It’s the last weekend for five guys who studied and lived in the same house, where they ate old jars of spaghetti sauce and pasta with nothing on it, experienced stretches of boredom and rapid hookups, pulled all-nighters studying and parties at dawn. But now that their naive, exciting and protected time of life is about to end, they will have to become responsible adults. Each of them will go in a different direction, making choices that will change everything. Some will stay in their hometown, others will leave to work abroad. This is the story of the last three days these five friends share what might be the best time of their life and a moment they will never forget.

L’ultimo weekend di cinque ragazzi che hanno studiato e vissuto a Pisa, nella stessa casa che è stata per loro teatro di amori nati e finiti, festeggiamenti per i trenta e lode e nottate passate insonni su libri indecifrabili. Adesso quel tempo di vita così acerbo, divertente e protetto, sta per finire. Ognuno prenderà direzioni diverse, andando incontro alle scelte che determinano il corso di una vita. Chi rimane nella sua città, Pisa, chi parte a lavorare all’estero. Insomma il racconto buffo, ironico ma anche profondo degli ultimi tre giorni di un gruppo di amici che hanno vissuto il momento più bello della loro vita e che non si vedranno più. Una metafora di una generazione chiamata ad una sfida.

Plot

The story of 19th century Italian poet, Giacomo Leopardi, who travels from Rome and Florence against his parents’ wishes of him becoming part of his native Recanati high society. His desire is initially stifled by his overbearing father, which leads him to write his first work exploring the human condition and the insatiability of happiness. After finally embarking on his journey, he is ultimately let down by his expectations and instead becomes entangled in a love triangle between his friend Antonio Ranieri and Countess Fanny Targioni Tozzetti. He and Antonio move to Naples where they settle in a villa at the foot of Mt. Vesuvius. A cholera outbreak leads Leopardi into a physical decline and results in his death.

Trama

Leopardi è un bambino prodigio. Legge di tutto, ma l’universo è fuori. In Europa il mondo cambia, scoppiano le rivoluzioni e Giacomo cerca disperatamente contatti con l’esterno. A ventiquattro anni, quando lascia finalmente Recanati, l’alta società italiana gli apre le porte ma il nostro ribelle non si adatta. A Firenze si coinvolge in un triangolo sentimentale con Antonio Ranieri, l’amico napoletano con cui convive da bohémien, e la bellissima Fanny. Si trasferisce infine a Napoli con Ranieri dove vive immerso nello spettacolo disperato e vitale della città plebea. Scoppia il colera: Giacomo e Ranieri compiono l’ultimo pezzo del lungo viaggio, verso una villa immersa nella campagna sotto il Vesuvio. Una storia di genio, sofferenze, poesia, amori e avventure.

Overwhelmed by her own guilt, however, she breaks it off to make a final, sincere attempt to reignite the flame with Freddy with a romantic trip to wine country.

Trama

Salvo e Valentino, sono due amici di vecchia data che, rimasti disoccupati, abbandonano la grande città per rifugiarsi nel piccolo comune d’origine di Valentino, Monteforte, in Sicilia, nella speranza di limitare le spese e tirare avanti. L’impatto con la nuova realtà non risulterà per nulla facile, soprattutto per Salvo, abituato alla città. I due si ritroveranno a vivere in un contesto diverso da quello che si erano immaginati: un paese in crisi economica, pieno di anziani. I due troveranno un modo per sfruttare la cosa a proprio favore, trasformando la casa in una specie di ospizio improvvisato. Ogni anziano, infatti, rappresenta una pensione, un bel bottino per i due disoccupati che tentano così di sbarcare il lunario.

Plot


A brilliant university researcher, Pietro Zinni, is laid-off due to university cutbacks in the current economy. To earn a living he decides to design and produce a legal drug to sell on the streets. He recruits his former colleagues; a chemist, an economist, a neurologist and a cultural anthropologist. Despite their impressive scholastic qualifications, they are all living at the margins of society. Just like Pietro, they welcome the opportunity to leave their boring, underpaid jobs to create this special new “smart-drug” to sell on the streets in hopes of helping people. Their endeavors are an overwhelming success, but things get complicated when they earn more money than they know what to do with and get noticed by a serious drug kingpin.

Trama

Pietro Zinni ha trentasette anni, fa il ricercatore ed è un genio. Ma questo non è sufficiente. Arrivano i tagli all’università e viene licenziato. Cosa può fare per sopravvivere un nerd che nella vita ha sempre e solo studiato? L’idea è drammaticamente semplice: mettere insieme una banda criminale come non se ne sono mai viste. Recluta i migliori tra i suoi ex colleghi, che nonostante le competenze vivono ormai tutti ai margini della società, facendo chi il benzinaio, chi il lavapiatti, chi il giocatore di poker. Macroeconomia, Neurobiologia, Antropologia, Lettere Classiche e Archeologia si riveleranno perfette per scalare la piramide malavitosa. Il successo è immediato e deflagrante, arrivano finalmente i soldi, il potere, le donne e il successo. Il problema sarà gestirli…

Guia farà di tutto per vendere il casale, per disfarsi di quelle quattro mura e di ogni possibile legame con una terra ai suoi occhi tanto umile e grezza. Invece è proprio in questo sperduto paese che si imbatterà in Renzo, un affascinante contadino del posto che le farà capire cosa le manca: l’amore, quello vero. Ma per Guia, raggiungere la felicità sarà una sfida.

Plot


Gualtiero Cecchin never had money problems, but after the economic crisis reaches his home region of Veneto, things turn sour.  After Gualtiero goes bankrupt, he tries to rise back to his former wealth while dealing with another couple of problems; his sister Elisa, a math teacher, and her husband-the police superintendent, Alessio Leopardi.  They are difficult people to say the least. She’s disconnected from reality, having grown up in a very sheltered, privileged environment and he is a chronically insecure man who hides behind his uniform and badge. This fuels an unrelenting rivalry between him and Gualtiero, who constantly disagree on daily issues and current events. Alessio also abuses his position of power to embarrass Gualtiero every chance he gets.

Trama

La crisi è ormai assodata ed è difficile sopravvivere. Il veneto Gualtiero Cecchin, simpatico ma viziato vero figlio di papà, non ha mai avuto problemi di soldi. Ora che i soldi sono finiti come farà a tornare ai vecchi fasti? Con un’idea e una buona dose di incoscienza o con una nuova impresa, anche se in modo non del tutto convenzionale? Gualtiero Cecchin decide di agire nel minor tempo possibile e senza porsi troppi problemi. Purtroppo c’è una rivalità senza tregua tra Gualtiero e suo cognato Alessio che tiene molto alla propria “virilità”: si sfidano sui temi del quotidiano, su questioni di eredità e di condivisione di spazi comuni. Alessio cercherà di mettere in difficoltà Gualtiero in ogni modo…

Plot

A love story with an important social and political message: two women decide to publically display the happiest day of their lives in this docufilm. They do so despite the knowledge that the country they live in, Italy, does not understand and accept homosexual marriages. This film tells the story of an engaged couple and their journey to the altar. It is not simply a tender love story about an Italian-Swedish wedding, but a social critique of Italian prejudices and civil rights. It hopes to point all of us in the right direction, towards this wedding in the woods and the coming together of two families that are joined through the true meaning of love.

Trama

Lei disse sì è un progetto d’amore ad alto valore sociale e politico. È il racconto di due donne che si amano. Due donne che decidono di rendere pubblico il loro giorno più bello, anche se sanno che così facendo si esporranno all’incomprensione di un Paese, l’Italia, dove il matrimonio omosessuale non è ancora riconosciuto. Il film racconta le avventure di due promesse spose fino a fatidico sì. Non è solo la storia tenera e divertente dei preparativi per una cerimonia italo-svedese, ma una denuncia contro la grave arretratezza italiana in materia di diritti civili, e un modo per indicare la direzione giusta: la strada fino a quella cerimonia nei boschi, a quella famiglia allargata riunita senza pregiudizi attorno alla realtà dell’amore.

Plot

This documentary tells the fascinating story of Barolo wine and how it exploded into an international phenomenon. Now one of the most famous red wines in the world, in the eighties Barolo went virtually unrecognized even in its production region of Langhe, in northwestern Italy. Barolo’s success today is mainly due to the efforts of a small group of wine producers, the so-called “Barolo Boys”, who upset the quiet world of the Piemontese countryside and brought about a revolution in Italian wine. After almost 30 years, what is left of that experience? As one of the film’s characters asks, what revolution has ever been successful? Barolo Boys. The Story of a Revolution traces the short but intense trajectory of a group of producers who indelibly changed the world of wine.

Trama

L’affascinante storia del Barolo, di come è arrivato a diventare un fenomeno internazionale. Annoverato oggi tra i rossi più famosi del mondo, il Barolo è passato a lungo inosservato persino nella bellissima regione delle Langhe, dove viene prodotto. Il successo del Barolo è dovuto al coraggio e allo spirito d’iniziativa di un gruppo di piccoli produttori, i cosiddetti “Barolo Boys”, che negli anni ottanta hanno intrapreso una guerra ideologica contro i metodi arcaici dei patriarchi, e sono andati alla conquista dei mercati mondiali. A distanza di trent’anni, cosa è rimasto di quell’esperienza? Barolo Boys ripercorre la traiettoria tracciata dal gruppo di produttori che ha maggiormente segnato per sempre la storia del vino.

Résumé

Ce documentaire raconte la fascinante histoire du Barolo et comment cette production s’est transformée en un phénomène d’envergure internationale. Bien qu’aujourd’hui le Barolo soit l’un des vins les plus célèbres au monde, pendant les années ’80 il n’était pas apprécié à sa juste valeur même dans sa région de production, les Langhe (Piémont). Le succès du Barolorepose sur les efforts d’un petit groupe de producteurs de vin, les “Barolo Boys”, qui ont bouleversé la campagne tranquille du Piémont amenant une révolution dans le secteur viticole italien. Après presque 30 ans, que reste-t-il de cette expérience? Ce film trace l’histoire courte mais intense d’un groupe de producteurs qui a changé de façon indélébile le monde du vin.

Plot

The Great War as you’ve never seen it before. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First World War and the 90th anniversary of Istituto Luce Cinecittà, veteran filmmaker Leonardo Tiberi amalgamates recreated scenes with original archival footage filmed on local on the Italian-Austrian front over a hundred years ago. A combination of documentary and fiction, Tiberi presents the story of three young friends: Mario, Agnese and Emilio and their struggles in the Italian World War I effort. Viewers will get a real-life glimpse into the lives of these young Italians and the sacrifices they made in this historic war. We’ll experience, first hand, their journey, feelings and perceptions as their narratives guide us through history.

Plot

Il film, realizzato dal regista e veterano Leonardo Tiberi in occasione del Centenario della I Guerra Mondiale e dei 90 anni dell’Istituto Luce Cinecittà, narra le vicende dei milioni di giovani coinvolti in quel tragico evento. Fango e Gloria, oltre a contenere una parte di fiction, si avvale di materiali di repertorio dell’Archivio Storico Luce risalenti al secolo scorso e sottoposti a procedimenti di colorazione e di sonorizzazione per renderne la fruizione ancora più suggestiva e inedita. Una vera e propria immersione nella vita dei giovani italiani che hanno sacrificato la propria vita nel primo conflitto mondiale, attraverso le emozioni e le percezioni di Mario, dei suoi amici e della sua fidanzata. Ragazzi qualunque della piccola borghesia di provincia, entusiasti e pieni di progetti per un futuro che a molti di loro verrà negato.

Imagine for a moment that there is a brand new skill, a special one. This skill is called “replacing”.L'Intrepido

Imagine an unemployed man that practices this skill every day. In his own way, he is a happy man. For a few hours a day he takes on the jobs of people who avoid their life careers to pursue other things. Imagine that our hero has a 20 year old son. This son can play the saxophone like a God. He is a true artist – this makes him very lucky. Finally, imagine a woman whose name is Lucia. She is a restless and wary woman that hides a dark secret. Will they get to the next episode safe and sound?.

Immaginiamo che esista un nuovo mestiere e che si chiami “rimpiazzo”.25041_ppl

Immaginiamo che un uomo senza lavoro lo pratichi ogni giorno lavorando davvero oltre misura ma che sia un uomo a suo modo felice. Si accontenta di poco ma i soldi non sono tutto nella vita: c’è il bisogno di tenersi in forma, di non lasciarsi andare in un momento, come si dice, di crisi buia. Immaginiamo poi che esista un ragazzo di 20 anni, suo figlio, che suona il sax ed è fortunato perché fa l’artista. E immaginiamo Lucia, inquieta e guardinga, che nasconde un segreto dietro la sua voglia di farsi avanti nella vita. Ce la faranno ad arrivare sani e salvi alla prossima puntata?
