Monelle
Editor
Around the sleeping bodies, some presences occupy the architecture and move around the space in obscure activities: nothing of their actions is visible to us, except in the fragments in which the image shows itself under the flashlight. Monelle is a circular film without any narrative or hierarchy, without a beginning or an end, and it circumscribes a place of promiscuity and ambiguity between the different formats used—35mm and CGI animation—and the approaches of two opposites film attitudes—the structural cinema and the horror genre.

Ouroboros
This film is an homage to the Gaza Strip and to the possibility of hope beyond hopelessness. Ouroboros, the symbol of the snake eating its tail, is both end and beginning: death as regeneration. A 74-minute experimental narrative film that turns the destruction of Gaza into a story of heartbreak, Ouroboros asks what it means to be human when humanity has failed. Taking the form of a love story, the film's central character is Diego Marcon, a man who embarks on a circular journey to shed his pain only to experience it, again and again. In the course of a single day, his travel fuses together Native American territories, the ancient Italian city of Matera, a castle in Brittany, and the ruins of the Gaza Strip into a single landscape.
Litania
Director
The video is filmed in Medjugorjie, Bosnia, known for being place of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary and, nowadays, as an important destination of Catholic pilgrimage. Immersed into a stream of sound, pilgrims climb to the mountains, at the feet of statues. In front of these icons, they compose their thoughts in prayer; around them, slowly, it gets dark. In its cadence, Litania is a gradual fading to black of the frame.
