I clandestini del cinema italiano

2006 • 48 min

Antonio Rezza and Flavia Mastrella are two artists that use their bodies like objects. Their works are exaltations of the object compared to the subject. The interpreter is more important than the author. The role of artistic expression is to represent what is not there. Cinema is an improper weapon because it is in the wrong hands. The solution would be - according to the two artists - for cinema as well as all art to be managed by those who have imagination and who are not down to earth.

The Ralph Handel Story

2006 • 15 min • United States of America

Co-directed by Benny and Josh Safdie, this deadpan mock-documentary follows Ralph Handel, a buttoned-down office worker who spends his nights bombing on the open-mic circuit.
