Poster for Bellezza, addio

2023 · ★ 0.0 (0)

In the mid-1990s, news broke that poet Dario Bellezza - who was friends with Sandro Penna, Alberto Moravia, Elsa Morante, Anna Maria Ortese, and Pier Paolo Pasolini - had AIDS: this was the beginning of the end for him. Today, friends, poets and literary critics tell the story of the first openly gay writer of Italian literature, one of the symbols of a thriving cultural scene. They called him 'Italy's poète maudit', to which his snarky response would be: "If anything, I was blessed, blessed by the Muses".

Jill Godmilow (Far From Poland, Waiting for the Moon) in collaboration with Joanna Krakowska and Magda Mosiewicz pay homage to the original SCUM Manifesto, a French film made in 1976 by Carole Roussopoulos and Delphine Seyrig that was inspired by Valerie Solanas’s infamous text of the same name.

Poster for FrauMutterTier

2019 · ★ 5.0 (2)

Full-time mom Marie has everything under control and always gives a thousand percent: raising the children, running the household, scheduling appointments with her husband - not really a problem for the woman in her late thirties if it weren't for her excessive demands on herself.

And single woman Tine is trying to reclaim her life as a young twenty-something, despite having a young daughter.
