Poster for Per Questi Stretti Morire

2010 · ★ 10.0 (1)

A compelling reconstruction of the adventurous life and works of explorer, filmmaker, and photographer Father Alberto Maria De Agostini (1883-1960). At the age of 26, he left a small village in Piedmont to become a missionary in South America. In 1910, he reached Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, which were still largely unexplored. He climbed mountains, discovered fjords and glaciers, and gave them names. Faced with the anguish and pain of the disappearance of the last Indios, he entrusted his testimony to the images captured on his photographic plates or on the frames of his film 'Terre Magellaniche'.

Poster for What If We Run Out of Stones?

2025 · ★ 0.0 (0)

At first glance, what could be more inanimate – and therefore anti-cinematic – than the mineral kingdom? Nora Štrbová challenges this declaration, turning it on its head and making stones into a highly kinetic subject. In this humorous essay film shot in 35 mm, stones are finally given a voice as they observe us, judge us and, above all… put up with us.

The city of Rome wakes up, and with it its inhabitants. Ale trains by running along the Tiber. Jane is about to enter a museum. Carla, a florist, is opening her shop. A delivery driver is making a delivery. Irene and Giulio are desperately looking for their keys in their apartment while their son Giacomo is playing with his tablet, ready to go out. In the simplicity of everyday life, a child's voice will make us think, reminding us that everyday life is an achievement for everyone, and for some even more so.

Poster for National Theatre Live: The Wife of Willesden

2022 · ★ 0.0 (0)

A proper local legend. Married five times. Mother. Lover. Aunt. Friend. Alvita will tell her life story to anyone in the pub – there’s no shame in her game. The question is: are you ready to hear it? Because this woman’s got the gift of the gab: she can rewrite mistakes into triumphs, turn pain into parables, and her love life’s an epic poem. They call her The Wife of Willesden... A play that celebrates the human knack for telling elaborate tales, especially about our own lives. Zadie Smith transports Chaucer’s The Wife of Bath to 21st Century North West London, directed by Kiln Theatre Artistic Director Indhu Rubasingh. A production from Kiln Theatre

Poster for Scripture Screw-Up

2019 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Can the power of Christ cure blindness? What is the secret to turning water into wine? Ruthless talk show host Mary Malone interviews the one and only Jesus of Nazareth (if that is even his real name) to cut through centuries of misunderstandings, debunking the miraculous stories we all know and love (but understand so little of). A mini-mythbuster of biblical proportions, Scripture Screw-Up is a comic cautionary tale for believers, unbelievers and everyone in between.

Poster for (In)Voluntary Retirements

2020 · ★ 9.0 (3)

On July 2nd, 2008, at five thirty in the afternoon, a 53-year-old man called Jean-Michel was run over by a train in Saint-Lyé, a town with a population of 3,000 located in the east of France. No one knew whether it was a suicide or an accident. The director investigates around the town, asks different inhabitants what they think of that tragedy. For many people, Jean-Michel had killed himself, after amassing too many worries and problems; the more the voiceover asks, the more mysterious it all gets. But there is a detail from Jean-Michel’s life that connects him to Argentina—he had been an employee at a phone company until a privatization left him without a job. (In)Voluntary Retirements is a documentary that shows how the kinship between Argentina’s politics in the ‘90s and France’s twenty years later damaged the lives of so many people.

José Bação Leal has born in Lisbon, capital of Portugal, in 1942, and died in Mozambique, during the colonial war, with 23 years old. A promising writer and thinker, he became a symbol of a youth that could not rise, victim of a country that put in cause its own future in a meaningless war. All the people who were close to him were touch by his fascinating personality and his vanguardist free spirit.
