Francesco Manzato

An anxious young man struggles to accept his vulnerabilities whilst on holiday in an upper-class summer residence in Sardinia with his overtly masculine family.

Five years of work, a one-hour movie, two zines with more than a hundred coloured pages. Hand screen-printed cover, 350 numbered copies. These are the numbers of URAGANO NEGLI OCCHI, a true story (self)built in the sweaty and smoky corners of the illegal Milan of occupations and hardcore punk concerts. Dozens of voices, interviews, flyers, illustrations and photographs describe a heterogeneous community of individuals, squats and collectives that in recent years has experienced an explosion of vitality, moving with enthusiasm and determination in the contradictions of the metropolitan city of Milan, affirming an unprecedented approach to Do It Yourself practices. An entirely self-produced narrative and visual project, conceived, developed and finalized in our spare time, with a lot of unexpected events in between.

Letizia, a young 16-year-old boxer, lives with her mother in a small town just outside Milan. After losing her job, her mum decides to move to Rome where she can be supported by her parents and of course decides to take Letizia with her. The film concentrates on the last few days before Letizia moves away, paying particular attention to the relationship she has with Clara: an older girl who trains in the same gym as her. Just when she has to leave, Letizia is forced to reflect on how important this relationship with Clara is for her.

Lucas and his crew of fellow writers spend their days in a secret forest that stretches along the railway. Lucas, however, is uneasy: something ominous is happening in the woods and he is the only one able to sense it. An unexpected encounter with a mysterious figure leads Lucas to a cathartic moment, suspended between conflict and freedom.

An omnibus film made under the creative supervision of Alice Diop, with the help of Ticino Film Commission and RSI.
