41

Massimo Cappelli／Italy／18:15／Thriller／2010

A man is hanging around a museum, insensible to the beauty of that place and works of art. A voice starts creeping into him. It is the voice of the audio guide, the voice of a stranger who describes immortal masterpieces in a few lines. But that voice is also something more.

Nettezza Urbana

Michelangelo Antonioni／Italy／11:00／Documentary／1948

A day in the life of Rome's street cleaners. Michelangelo Antonioni films a city where a wide variety of people, their lives, and attitudes exist together. Antonioni’s interest is in the glimpse of the lives of common people and not the centuries old beauty of the Eternal City.
 

Invisible Trajectories

Luc Walpoth／Italy/Switzerland／13:50／Drama／2010

For years, I have been travelling without moving. The desert landscape scrolls. From village to cities, from silence to smile, I'm searching. I'm looking for the story. Mine. Hers. The story in which we are together. How did it begin? How will it end?
