Pietro Baldoni

Westmoreland Naples

Allen Ginsberg is reading his poetry in the Trianon movie theater, which is a historical red light theater in Naples. At the same time, the hardcore film, Tutta una vita, is being projected. A member of the audience in his sixties drops off to sleep. His dream leads us to the edge of madness. There are readings of beat generation poetry, pop music trailers, impossible cinematographic screen tests, and special remakes of cinema-images by the most important exponents of the old and new "Neapolitan poetic".

Vito and the Others

A despairing man murders his wife and his son on New Year's Eve before surrendering to the police. Placed in the custody of sexually abusive relatives, his only surviving child Vito is left free to roam the trash-strewn back streets of Naples where he and his friends engage in drug abuse, prostitution and petty crime.
