Ouroboros 2017 (5)

This film is an homage to the Gaza Strip and to the possibility of hope beyond hopelessness. Ouroboros, the symbol of the snake eating its tail, is both end and beginning: death as regeneration. A 74-minute experimental narrative film that turns the destruction of Gaza into a story of heartbreak, Ouroboros asks what it means to be human when humanity has failed. Taking the form of a love story, the film's central character is Diego Marcon, a man who embarks on a circular journey to shed his pain only to experience it, again and again. In the course of a single day, his travel fuses together Native American territories, the ancient Italian city of Matera, a castle in Brittany, and the ruins of the Gaza Strip into a single landscape.

Monelle 2018 (8)

Around the sleeping bodies, some presences occupy the architecture and move around the space in obscure activities: nothing of their actions is visible to us, except in the fragments in which the image shows itself under the flashlight. Monelle is a circular film without any narrative or hierarchy, without a beginning or an end, and it circumscribes a place of promiscuity and ambiguity between the different formats used—35mm and CGI animation—and the approaches of two opposites film attitudes—the structural cinema and the horror genre.

L'impero della natura. Una notte al Parco del Colosseo 2023 (6.5)

The Colosseum Archaeological Park is a natural habitat for wildlife that has transformed it into a unique ecosystem in the world. Here, humans have disappeared, leaving their only trace in the gigantic ruins and the splendid monuments of their past glory. The new empire belongs to nature. The only humans who set foot here, when tourists depart, are biologists and naturalists who monitor the present species, some of which are particularly rare and difficult to spot.
