Anna Magnani - Recitare la verità

Anna(it)

On March 21, 1956, Anna Magnani won the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for The Rose Tattoo. She spends the night waiting for the news to arrive wandering the alleys and squares of Rome, among the people who love her and the memories that inhabit her heart. With her, there is a young girl who will become her agent: Carol Levi. Dawn brings her victory, but it is a very brief one. The unpredictable turn of fate pushes her aside at the moment of her greatest splendour. The film thus narrates the human-side of Anna's story, an impetuous woman, hilarious in her crazy moments, the world of cinema that revolves around her, Cinecittà, her quarrels with directors, her being betrayed. Above everything there's Roberto Rossellini, always present in her mind. "An imprint in the heart that lives on even when time has erased everything else". He will return and won't leave her. Ever again.

The movie is inspired by the true life story of Bulgarian paralympic ‘Long jump’ triple world champion Mihail Hristov. The film follows Mihail from the moment he loses both his arms in an electric current incident and makes the life-changing decision of becoming a professional athlete as he goes through the catharsis of deciding to start a new life without arms. He goes through a number of difficulties, both on the sports field and in his personal relationships with his parents, his coach, the girl he falls in love with but most of all, the difficulty of accepting what has happened to him. The script traces Mihail's difficult fate from the accident that left him without arms to becoming a triple long jump world champion, inventor of a new type of prosthetics and a motivational speaker.

Malartic(fr)

Ten years after an enormous open-pit gold mine began operations in Malartic, the hoped-for economic miracle is nothing more than a mirage.

Part anthropological study, part investigation into the corridors of power, Malartic addresses the fundamental issue of sustainable and fair land management.

Wasted Waste(pt)

This documentary is about individual lifestyles with conscious repercussions in the collective. Because from the Nature’s point of view there is no such thing as waste. It’s the symbiotic aspect of life. The whole Nature is a unified system of interdependent variables. Each one with a cause and reaction. Freeganism is an alternative lifestyle based on the boycott to capitalism, aiming to reduce the impact in our ecosystem, rejecting any form of human or animal exploitation. This is achieved through the limited and resource-conscious consumption, as well as the rescue of waste, in a society that produces above its needs.
