Il Cristo in gola
Title: Il Cristo in gola

Type: Movie
An iconographically already dead Christ, who assails life and goes astray, performing miracles with only the power of despair.

Milano, via Padova
Title: Milano, via Padova
Released: October 23, 2016
Type: Movie
MILAN VIA PADOVA. A document that was born out of an excess of zeal in an investigation into the people who live on the street. The film tells of racism and intolerance through singing that shows the sweetness of a forgotten rhythm. The unusual reality reaches performative peaks when personal and social problems are intertwined. It is a film on the verge of becoming. It was born as a synthetic work but like the themes it deals with, it prolongs its life over time. After four years it became a feature film.

Troppolitani - Valle Occupato
Title: Troppolitani - Valle Occupato
Released: January 1, 2016
Type: Movie
Is art useful to man? The actors are suited to society. Passers-by are people who want to dream but have now lost confidence, laziness on the one hand, conditioning and deschooling on the other, require you to lower your sights and everyone is content to pursue modest cheap expectations. Reality and art are not in communication, impoverished by individualism, the actors and artists dance to the rhythm imposed by power, they slaughter each other, they abuse each other without realizing the possibilities of communication that open up by moving outside the choir. Rome is occupied by every step, the foot walking lightly occupies the public land. But this occupation is not news because it is lightning fast. The criteria of employment mark the time.

Troppolitani - Fuori dove?
Title: Troppolitani - Fuori dove?
Released: January 1, 2009
Type: Movie
Path in progress on the intentions of those who think badly. The discomfort of the mind of those who have no discomfort is greater than that of those who make discomfort their natural expression. "Troppolitani Outside Where?" it is a journey through the folds of the human and inhuman mind. A one-way trip that does not allow for escape: you remain trapped in the thought of whoever is in front of you. One is stunned by the astonishment that the deviated mind is able to arouse.

I clandestini del cinema italiano
Title: I clandestini del cinema italiano
Released: August 1, 2006
Type: Movie
Antonio Rezza and Flavia Mastrella are two artists that use their bodies like objects. Their works are exaltations of the object compared to the subject. The interpreter is more important than the author. The role of artistic expression is to represent what is not there. Cinema is an improper weapon because it is in the wrong hands. The solution would be - according to the two artists - for cinema as well as all art to be managed by those who have imagination and who are not down to earth.
