Worn-down pavements, broken paving stones. Trees that jut out of the concrete, casting shadows on to crumbling façades. The centre of Tbilisi in the summer of 2013. Glimpses of side and main streets, over railings and under balconies, of an architectural cacophony. The voiceover spoken by Natja Brunckhorst reflects on the nature of streets and public spaces.

Em 2008, no limiar da crise económica que se instalou depois, num arquipélago atlântico ao largo de África ocidental, a utilização intensiva de areia para construção de hotéis e resorts ameaça a existência das praias locais — a principal fonte de atração da florescente indústria turística. Ali ao lado, numa capital costeira em pleno deserto do Sara, os homens de negócios agitam-se com a possibilidade de exportar o seu recurso mais abundante. Inicia-se então um triângulo comercial que se completa com a exploração de brita vulcânica e com a transferência maciça de solo de um lugar ao outro, através do oceano.

A Cidade dos Mortos, no Cairo, é a maior necrópole do mundo. Um milhão de pessoas vivem dentro do cemitério – em casas tumulares ou nos edifícios que cresceram em redor. Dentro do cemitério há de tudo: padarias, cafés, escolas para as crianças, teatros de fantoches... A Cidade dos Mortos estende-se por mais de dez quilómetros ao longo de uma auto-estrada, mas não deixa de ser uma aldeia, com mães à caça de um bom partido para as filhas, rapazes a correr atrás das raparigas, disputas entre vizinhos. Preparado e rodado ao longo de cinco anos (2004-2009), este filme procura dar a ver a alma invisível do cemitério.

The film covers a hundred years in the lives of the Ricordi family, the Milan publishing house of the title, and the various composers and other historic personalities, whose careers intersected with the growth of the Ricordi house. It beautifully draws the parallel between the great music of the composers, the historic and social upheavals of their times, as well as the "smaller stories" of the successive generations of Ricordi.

The responses are as varied as the people who knew the late writer-director, providing a nuanced look at the man behind such gory grindhouse classics as City of the Living Dead and The House by the Cemetery.

Heinz Emigholz, the premiere purveyor of architectural oddities (Sullivan's Bridges, Goff in the Desert), meticulously documents 15 rooms of the enormous Villa Cargnacco in Lombardy, Italy, designed by proto-fascist poet Gabriele D'Annunzio (1863-1938). The controversial figure spent 17 years designing the Vittoriale, a state museum on Lake Garda, and furnishing the Villa Cargnacco, which is part of the grand complex. This unusual documentary resulted from a photography session in the villa, when four friends--cinematographers Irene von Alberti, Elfi Mikesch, Klaus Wyborny and Heinz Emigholz--simultaneously filmed the rooms and furnishings of the villa in their own specific styles.

"[...] Looking back, I now feel that I understand that the film was my response to the two entities, Man and Nature competing for space in the local vicinity where I lived, ergo layers of images and sounds compete for attention in the film. Where fields used to be, they were being replaced with factories, power stations, and wind farms. My film is an irresolution. Are any of these things beneficial enough to be warranted? Isn't it all a folly? I don't know. It is not a negative film, nor a positive one. Just a comment. A comment that my subconscious commanded me to make; inspired by the locations that I passed... and the locations that have passed. At the end of the film, a human hand reaches out, as if trying to find a resolution, a reason for anything and everything - but everything, even the nature seems so fake now, like trying to feel the flesh of a mere projection..." - Scott Barley
