Italian Gangsters – Venice 72 Orizzonti

Renato De Maria creates an unconventional and extremely minimalistic dramatized documentary that explores the most violent thirty-year criminal period of post-war Italy.

Ja Tozhe Hochu (Me Too) – Venice 69 Orizzonti

Alexei Balabanov's last and most personal film. An adaptation on Tarkovsky's Stalker myth set in Balabanov's provocative world.

Theeb (ذيب) – Venice 71 Orizzonti

A visually impressive and highly emotional coming-of-age film by Naji Abu Nowar, set in the Jordanian desert just before the Arab Revolt. Orizzonti Award for Best Director at the 71st Venice Film Festival.

Fuoco! (Fire!, 1968)

Gian Vittorio Baldi directs a piece of art that through its consistency can work on political and dramaturgical level without losing its impactful realism.

Artă (Art) – Venice 71 Orizzonti

A sharp reenacted mockumentary by Adrian Sitaru, that watches from a humorous perspective the rightfulness to abuse people for the sake of art.
