René Goes to War

Little René lives in a house in the woods of Slovenia. He spends his summer holidays playing alone, fantasising about defending the national borders from an enemy attack. The child designs and builds wooden toy weapons and then immerses himself in nature, hiding in abandoned bunkers from the Second World War and staging imaginative battles.

Paradise Lost in Two Reelers

Franco Piavoli is one of the most important directors among Italian independent panorama. Through the years, He built one unique and authentic cinematographic grammar. Born in 1933, He spent his whole life in Pozzolengo, a small village near Garda’s lake. There, He imagined, wrote and - for the most part - shot his own works. We visited him in his house, with us only two reels in super 8mm, and asked him to tell us about his next movie.

Coma Berenices

In a hypothetical intergalactic journey we could not recognize any constellation, the mapping of the celestial sphere is nothing but a vice of the gaze. The proximity close to any star we would identify others, visible only from this new perspective: the sighting. To the keen eye, pixels are stars and everything is possessed.
