Vinylmania, when life runs at 33 rpm
A film that guides us into the folds of an object that has never lost its soul, questioning what makes it so legendary in a world dominated by liquid music:
Manchester Keeps On Dancing
A total immersion into the birth and development of House music in Manchester in the 80s, through archive footage never seen before on film, with interviews with the most important exponents

A song without an ending
The Truzzi Broders were born with the punks, but they were never punk. Musically, they were the minority of the minority.
A Song Without an Ending is a documentary that, using archive footage shot directly by the band, offers a glimpse into Turin in the 1980s. A difficult city that, according to the testimonies of those who were young during that period, appears as a gray, oppressive place, devoid of opportunities for recreation and social interaction.
The drug addiction crisis was exploding, and the first mass layoffs were beginning. On May 29, 1982, a historic date, at the Vanchiglia Meeting Center, the city's hardcore punk bands gathered for a concert with an emblematic slogan: against urban desperation.
Dirty Wind - (Once Upon a Time in Marghera)
Dirty wind It is inspired by the words of the song by Sir Oliver Skardy (former singer of Pitura Freska) “C'era una volta a Marghera”, and represents the attempt to reproduce in images the suggestions that it aroused in the two authors.
Water under the bridge
A “private” story, about two brothers and a return, gradually transforms into a portrait of a generation and a city that has lost its identity since the final decades of the last century.
