Synopsis: At the age of 20, I felt my life was a book of blank pages waiting to be written. I felt invincible and perhaps, in some ways, I was. I savored every moment to the fullest and was never in need of anything. Inspired by the mood of any given day, I would ride my motorcycle far and wide. Women loved me, and the feeling was mutual. But it’s true, as John Lennon once said, that life is something that happens when you’re busy planning something else. Every time you shoot the ball, no matter how high you jump, sooner or later gravity brings you down hard on your feet, and sometimes it’s a crooked landing.

Synopsis: What happened to the “Left wing”? Today in the common language this is a non-existent word, as well as other symbols of years of battles. But why has public speech become so poor in meaning? In recent years TV and social networks have replaced symbolic places such as the market or the square in front of the factory. Through archival images, from the post-war period to today, a tale that touches the top and the base, the head and the heart of a Story, will be reconstructed.

Synopsis: Every august, Archivio Zeta stages a theatrical performance of great symbolic value inside the Futa German Cemetery. Futapass follows the company in the construction of this extraordinary event and, over a year, discreetly observes the sometimes suspended and surreal events that unfold around this seemingly static location. The Futa German Cemetery becomes the epicentre of a series of situations that, albeit contrasting, merge into a metaphorical spiral that leads to the summit of the monument and of the mountain. We are on the verge of the cemetery’s 50th year anniversary since its inauguration: 1969-2019.

Synopsis: Roberto Rossellini was Italian Neorealism’s most renowned film director and the father of a cosmopolitan, nonconformist and slightly crazy family. It also includes Alessandro. He has had a very varied career, from photographer to film set runner, but this grandson of a genius feels that he has not lived up to expectations. So, at the age of 54 he has decided to become what every Rossellini thinks they should be, a film director. His theme is clear: a family that is a drama in its own right.
