Surbiles
Director of Photography
Os surbiles são mulheres aparentemente como todas as outras, mas que abandonam seu corpo físico entre o pôr-do-sol e o amanhecer, no sono ou por meio de drogas, entrando em casas onde as crianças vivem e sugando seu sangue. No passado, essas mulheres foram culpadas em aldeias da Sardenha Central pela morte súbita e inexplicável de muitas crianças. O filme conta e reconstrói algumas dessas histórias, emergentes de uma pesquisa antropológica. Entre os casos ilustrados, alguns surbiles aparecem como figuras boas que protegem as crianças dos surbiles do mal: batalhas ferozes ocorrem entre os corpos imateriais das duas espécies de surbiles.
La Cicciolina: Godmother of Scandal
Assistant Camera
The personal and professional story of Ilona Staller, known as Cicciolina, is probably unique: she left communist Hungary and moved to Italy, where she found a fertile environment for a life dedicated to scandal.
Il pane a vita
Cinematography
In October 2012, after 123 years, the cotton factory Honegger of Albino closed down, in the middle valley of Bergamo, where working is a religion. In the cotton factory, the place at the loom was handed down from mother to daughter, and newly employed workers were sure to have found "ol pà 'n véta", their bread and butter for a life time. Following for a whole winter the daily life of three workers on unemployment benefits, the film narrates the decline, now definitive, of a whole idea of work and society and the subsequent emptiness. Such a transition concerns the whole of Italy, where a fourth of the industrial power was lost in the last five years. However, Italy is not clearly dealing with such a transition yet. Now that bread is finished, how are we going to reinvent our life?
