Alessandro Comodin

Gigi is a police officer in a countryside where nothing ever happens. One day however, a young girl throws herself under a train. This is not the first time. Facing this unexplainable suicide wave, Gigi starts investigating a strange world, between reality and fantasy, where a garden turns into a jungle and where an ever-smiling policeman keeps his heart open to love.

Луиш - жизнерадостный мужчина предпенсионного возраста. Все чаще его можно встретить не в офисе, а за рулем автомобиля, поющего песни о том, что проносится перед глазами. Умеющий ловко избегать любых конфликтов, всегда с улыбкой наготове, Луиш за годы работы коммерческим директором фирмы по установке систем безопасности выработал уникальный навык счастливо избегать проблем и сложностей на работе. Даже смерть любимого кота, боль в колене или семейная ссора не может сбить его с позитивной волны: в мире нет ничего такого, что не могла бы исправить хорошая песня. Но при виде Люсинды его обычный репертуар вдруг приобретает новую тональность.

Director Alessandro Comodin recounts for Fuori Orario the genesis of his two films, "Summer of Giacomo" and "Happy times will come soon" and reflects on his own conception of cinema: the need for escape and movement, the adolescence of moving bodies and the perception of passing time, the importance of locations and immersion in nature, the technical practice during filming, the approach to the cinematographic medium as a way to see better and to establish a relationship of sensory capture of reality, the relationship with the actors. With references to his favorite filmmakers, from Bresson and Monteiro to Wang Bing, and to the recurring images of his films: the hole and the labyrinth, the loop of time and epilogues, the fairy tale and metamorphosis.

Tommaso and Arturo are on the run in a remote forest. They hunt for food, trying to survive and find their way through the lush nature. It’s quiet, almost peaceful, until the sound of gunshots… Many years later, this forest has a wolf problem. It’s here where Ariane discovers a strange hole in the ground. Could she be the woman referred to in the valley’s legends?

Rita is fifteen and spends the summer between warm afternoons of teenage love and party nights with her friend Sara. From Portugal to the South Pacific, the pleasures of this routine will take a turn when the young girl visits the art show of a new neighbor in the local community.

A summer day in Italy. The camera follows the deaf-mute Giacomo and a childhood girlfriend Stefi closely – in the woods, by the river – without wanting to disrupt the mystery of their relationship, between restrained sensuality and childhood games.

Belgian filmmaker Eric Pauwels' meditation on dream, travel and film.

Hunting is less the act of drawing than a real process: a puzzle, strategy, instinct and adrenaline. Fever of the hunt is a condition where one becomes animal, as the animal that one seeks.
