- It's been twenty years since Genoa, 2001. Twenty years is the time in which a newborn becomes a person: nowadays there is an entire generation that is autonomous and present, yet which was not born at the time. Twenty years is the time in which a boy becomes an adult, and an adult becomes an elder. There are two generations who have gone through that experience, in one way or another, and twenty years later they cannot consider it closed. The dream of Genoa 2001 is not over, because the themes of those days - growing inequality, finance which concentrates resources in few hands and makes precarious or crushes the others, environment robbery, great migrations - are today's issues, only more urgent. And the violence of Genoa 2001 is not over, because that violence has been told many times, and counter-told, celebrated or condemned, but never understood or resolved. Now is the right time to talk about it: to start from Genoa to go beyond Genoa, and to understand what Genoa means.
- Goffredo Fofi does not want to be considered an intellectual but he has spent his life founding magazines, writing books, reviewing movies. The film portrays his tireless political and cultural work and his encounters with famous figures such as Elsa Morante, Carmelo Bene, Danilo Dolci, Aldo Capitini, Totò, Luis Bunuel, Ada Gobetti, Raniero Panzieri, Pasolini, Fellini... People with whom "it was nice to fight" but, in certain cases, it was just as nice to make up with them. And then, 1968, the extra-parliamentary groups, ideological excesses, discovering new authors and directors. Social work as a political resource. The profile of a heretical intellectual and an extraordinary cultural organizer reveals a very critical view of Italian society, its power mechanisms, and the injustice that leaves a mark on it.
- Drawing from blurred VHS images and equally blurry childhood memories, Superheroes without Superpowers shows a journey in which the filmmaker processes some of the most important moments of her life and the relationship with her mother and her sickness, reconstructs the most intimate of narratives in order to find what she had lost.
- In 1970 Pasolini filmed a documentary on the occasion of the strike of the garbage collectors on April 24 in Rome, he also filmed their faces involved in the discussions about the strike obtaining an anthropologically extraordinary image of an ignored humanity. Mimmo Calopresti has recovered the original material and has made a documentary about the garbage problem in a different way. He tries to talk about it as Pasolini himself used to do, looking at everything around us, including garbage.
- Barletta, Italy, 2011: one hundred years after the 1911 Fire at the Triangle factory in New York, several textile workers die because of the collapse of the building in which they used to work as employees of an unauthorized knitwear factory. Mariella Fasanella is the only survivor among the women who worked there. Through her words we experience a century-long journey through the rise and fall of manual labour and industrialism in the Western world.
