THE FULL-LENGHT FILM
DELITTO SUL PO
Antifilm a corpo morto
Conceived and realized (in every detail) by Flavia Mastrella Antonio Rezza
On the River Po, in waters and boundless nature, three men kill a collaborator of Police Commissioner Dangelo who, immediately, starts the inquiry.
“Murder on the River Po” is a work that absolutely denies the use of a screenplay. When a scene was missing, we simply changed clothes and shot it immediately and then edited it in while still dressed as the characters. And it was not the authors who did the editing but those same characters of whom the authors lost control.
The detective story branches out into microstories influenced by the daily reality of the characters. Every fragment of story is separated by 5 seconds of blackness; the fragments represent individual events lasting different lengths of time, linked by the blackness to form an articulated story. The black stills cover 15% of the film, while the black tape covers 35% of the image. Considering that the film is made up of images we can claim that the tape covers 35% of the events and, added to the 15% of the black stills, we are able to reach a total net black of 50% .
Adding to the net black the gross black of the cinema-house and the black total of the cost of the ticket we obtain the internal black product brought along by the audience. In all the cinemas.
THEATER
“We had our first experiences in communication at the “Il Fotogramma art gallery” in Rome, and other showrooms scattered across Italy. Then we committed ourselves in finding the perfect one, we explored places (small-town realities, roads, ancient cabaret clubs, bookstores, museums, off-theaters) and disciplines designed for mass communication…. Our style of delivery is fed by cinema, literature, art and lust for motion. A feverish rotation of disciplines allow us to avoid a sedentary kind of reality and, most of all, prevent us from getting swamped in ideas, sending us to mythical dimension of the Ideal”.
PITECUS
the play
PITECUS tells the stories of many characters, who come and go in a messy microcosm: shreds of reality follows one after another without a leading thread, sublime wickednesses turn touchy subjects into funny ones. There’s no positive rappresentation, everyone is content, everyone feels like a victim, everyone buys his feelings and dignity.
The characters are ugly, both somatically and internally. They’re filled with lack of views and wallow in anonimity, but thanks to their narcisism they think they’re original, contemporary and, worst of all, avanguardist. They speak in a mixed-dialect, they’re colorful, they move nervously and, through acting, their shapes become caricatural, almost cartoon-like.
SPECIAL SCREENING
TROPPOLITANI
Un programma di Flavia Mastrella e Antonio Rezza
Condotto e galoppato da Antonio Rezza

We were surprised by the results of our own operation. The interviewees, who lived and moved in ordinary spaces (train stations, racecourses, cemeteries), gave sincerely unordinary quesions to our answers.

a special selection of KIMUAK
KIMUAK (“shoot”, in Basque language) is a programme born in 1998 and organised by Basque Government (Northern Spain) whose aim is the diffusion, promotion and distribution of Basque short films all around the world.
In the Basque Country, there were some helps to the production of short films, but there was not any contribute for promotion and diffusion. KIMUAK went to cover this hole. In a few words, KIMUAK programme works as follows.
Every year, the Culture Department of Basque Government calls the Basque short filmmakers to present their works for KIMUAK, and some of them are selected to take part in the programme.
Since its beginning in 1998, KIMUAK changed a lot and became one of the more successful programmes of diffusion of short films in the world. KIMUAK has been present twice at the Academy Awards Ceremony in Los Angeles, their films have been awarded at some of the most important festivals in the world (Cannes, Clermont-Ferrand, Aspen, Méliès d’Or, Gijón, Sitges…); they have won the Goya award in Spain, and have been nominated several times to this prize; selected in plenty of festivals in Europe, Asia, America, Africa and Australia…
KIMUAK has a very good health.
In a few words, this is KIMUAK. And I hope it will continue improving and trying to make this wonderful world of filmmaking a little bit better, and being a bridge to communicate between them different places, different languages, different countries, different worlds. If we get this goal any time, our work will make sense.

THE MAN WITH THE MOVIE CAMERA
Italy 2010
Runtime 73’
based on an idea by Mirco Melanco
Editors, directors Emiliano Dalle Mole, Matteo Manzi, Francesca Marra
This documentary set in Padua – and Belluno, Vicenza, Verona, Venice and Zurich –
portrays a hypothetical day seen from a number of “cine-eyes”, the eyes of over 50 students. The cameramen shoot daily life scenes depicting their different aspects that range from working life to leisure. With an innovative shooting style defined by multiple viewpoints and special framing of everyday places, you get new meanings and perspectives of everyday habits and gestures. Different images intertwine for about 73 minutes, with no actors, but subjects portrayed in their natural, spontaneous living’. The film opens in a totally empty movie theater. The audience, from that moment on, is engaged in an ongoing meta-cinematic game.

On the one hand it aims at redeeming the documentary from its educational purpose and on the other hand, Limno aspires to make people aware of water environment, of the life forms that live in it and the people that buzz around it.
Not only is Limno a section of the competition, then, it is also a larger project, made of meetings, excursions, tastings, a window on contemporary art and a workshop for ten university students to investigate and to tell about Revine Lakes and the people who live them.
