Vorrei sparire senza morire
Idea
About love and death: starting from the small cemetery in San Leo, where many of his loved ones are buried, Pupi Avati opens his heart. It's a heady mix of a little cinema, a little music, and a lot of living; a journey across time; and a backward glance at a master Italian filmmaker's closest ties, his ghosts and memories snatches of an autobiography interwoven with our collective memory.

Burning Love
Self
July 2006. Leonardo Zuliani has vanished. The news from Trastevere in Rome turns into a real national emergency, while a huge throng of followers gathers around the young activist’s house. His mother is beside herself with grief and the entire neighbourhood is paralysed. He’s on every TV channel and the authorities all express their solidarity with the family. Many can’t believe it’s true; they prefer to think it’s just one of his stunts. A genius in conveying his ideas, successful cartoonist, visionary fashion designer, cult author, human rights activist: but who is Leonardo deep down? With the help of leading experts and celebrities, the film traces his life, at last casting light on a key figure of our times

The documentary starts from the sanctification of Pope Giovanni XXIII and Pope Giovanni Paolo II and tells the scenes on the figures of the two saints and popes of Pope Francesco I, with a stock image of three Popes enriched with new images of Pope Francesco I at the time of his election before it is presented to the whole world. A journey through exclusive places and partly unpublished Vatican.
Istintobrass
Self
One of the most controversial, original and loved figures of Italian cinema. The most censored director of all time. An anarchist of the film, a gifted experimenter, an inventor of dreams. A truly great artist.
