In quanto a noi (As for us)
Directed by: Simone Massi (2022 – 5′)
In quanto a noi (As for us) is narrated by the voice of the German director Wim Wenders and is inspired by the poem “We studied for the afterlife” by the Italian poet Eugenio Montale. Simone Massi realizes a “video-poem” on the Italian nightmares of the XX century history: poverty, war, political terrorism. To wake up from that nightmare, the only solution is to realize that everybody is “already dead without knowing it”.
The Meatseller
Directed by: Margherita Giusti (2023 – 17′)
The Meatseller is the true story of Selinna Ajamikoko, a young Nigerian woman who dreams to become a meatseller like her mom. In order to achieve her dream, she begins her voyage towards Italy, an experience full of atrocity and bestiality. This animated journey, led by Selinna’s own voice, guides us through the quest for identity that characterizes every human being.
