Acting
A deep dive into Glauber Rocha's years exiled in Italy in the 70s. Through a collection of interviews and archives, the movie shows the making of his film Claro (1975) and his relation with European auteurs in their filmic and political views.
A college student studying for an upcoming test attempts to calm his frazzled nerves by taking drugs, and experiences a series of vivid, erotic hallucinations.

From Paolo Brunatto's series "Scheggie Di Utopia".
A farmaceutical salesman is involved in the spiral of corruption in the medical assistance of the welfare state system.
7 April 2006 Alberto Grifi, a year before his death, is interviewed for the last time by Roberto Silvestri and canecapovolto. What emerges in the interview is the portrait of an underground filmmaker who was always intrigued by the dual aim of pursuing scientific and artistic research simultaneously, and whose cinema, influenced by Grotowski's method, was made by people whose objective was to understand how life works by interpreting roles that allow them to live experiences which were totally different from their own ones.
For at least three generations of viewers, cinema has been like life: a motive for work, relationships, conflict, politics, and pleasure. The documentary, based on original interviews with critics active between the 1950s and the present day, evokes the places, rituals, professional routines, gender relations, and polemical and social dimensions of Italian film criticism. Not only a profession, but above all a discovery of the world through films, yesterday as today.
We started to make an extra to be included in our first DVD "Democratic Optimism", a collection of short films in black and white we shot between 1990 and 1999.
