Amori

Amori

2020 • 60 min • Italy
👁️ 357
The documentary opens with a tribute to Pasolini and his Comizi D’amore (1965). The authors start from that brief homage and take us on a new journey, more intimate and less political, to investigate love in its various forms. It is the feeling par excellence, but also the most unfathomable, to the point that a single voice is not enough to describe it. Amori collects the testimonies of needs, detachments, losses, compromises, explorations, purity, tenacity, salvation and consolation. A documentary about love, but, above all, about those who love. A small open window on a vast and often superficially addressed topic. As the authors themselves write, it is "a small film stirring among sharks in the open sea". AWARDS:

Stocking Stuffers

Stocking Stuffers

👁️ 349
"Stocking Stuffers" is an experimental comedic short which illuminates through two brief anecdotes how a pair of pantyhose can become an object of desire whose seductive power can either compliment human sexuality - or commodify it. In the first half of the film, the man and the woman engage in sexy banter triggered, in part, by the pantyhose worn by the woman. In the film's second half, the Man and the Woman appear in three interlocking pantyhose commercials. The first half of the film posits in a suggestive way how an object of desire such as pantyhose can compliment human sexuality while the film's second half suggests in a satiric way how the same object of desire can commodify human sexuality.

The short movie talks about the thematic of violence against women and its different facets and implications through the love story of Luca and Marzia who, separately and each one from its own point of view, tell us their last evening together. Police Ispector Melzi is in charge of collecting the testimony of a shocked Luca and try to shed light on the mysterious and sudden disappearance of his beloved girlfriend. Instead it’s up to Anna who is responsible for an anti-violence centre for women, to welcome and comfort a frightened and lost Marzia. Thus begins a game of cross and parallel flaschbacks thanks to which we discover not only a double version of the facts but also of the personalities of the young protagonists and that makes even harder to put together all the pieces of the puzzke and answer the question on which the whole story is built up: What really happened that fatal night?

"I am Graziella" is an anthology project that gathers the codes constituting the alphabet of my poetic research through a self-biographical analysis. The diary-like structure leads the experience of the images towards an increasingly pressing ritual and sacred experience, bordering on exaltation. The project, entirely realized in collaboration with Graziella Carpintieri, my grandmother, originates from the urgency to speak about what I am and what nourishes me through a mechanism of internalizing images that dates back to the prenatal dimension. At the core of the narrative fabric lies the concept of timelessness, portrayed through glances infused with virtuosities, sometimes aesthetic and at other times disturbing.
