- Ricky is the story of a journey taken by a young man from Italy to Hollywood, California, accompanied by a friend who is too different for them to get along. The only break comes when the protagonist meets Maghda: a prostitute who dresses up like the divas of the silver screen. In parallel with this journey is the tale of a group of customers in a club who have been taken prisoner and are being held on the top floor of a building. Why can't they leave? What does this situation have to do with the young man's journey?
- In the 1700's, while the glory of Venice was to the apex of its splendor but to the beginning of its express decline, Carlo Goldoni anticipated the French revolution renewing the European theatre: it removed to the actors the mask of the comedies of the art in order to show the true face and the emotions of the bourgeois of the age of the illuminism.
- On the Burano Island in the lagoon of Venice, famed for the splendour of its past, the old tradition of the Lace survives thanks to the latest lace-makers. This film reveals the secrets of an ancient art worldwide appreciated.
- "Around The World in 80 Years" ("Il giro del mondo in 80 anni" in Italian) is a film written and directed by Alessandro Bettero: a travelogue that covers eight decades of history of the 20th century, narrated from the original point of view of the italian travel agent Adelmo Salvadori. In years in which a cine camera was only for the very few, Adelmo Salvadori travelled all over the world and filmed away with his cine camera. He mounted the reels in great secret, and then hid them away until one day by chance his daughter Gabriella, owner of one of the oldest Travel Agency of the World, discovered them in Bologna. What was behind this frenetic activity? Why did Adelmo put his life at risk in order to shoot hours and hours of film? Part of those images have been put together for the contemporary viewer for the first time - with neither restoration nor any other manumission - and read against the vivid memories of middle-aged world travellers in the same decades. So history and memory, personal and collective, interweave in this fascinating reconstruction in which we rediscover a world that no longer exists, even if we have always lived in it.
- Nothing is created. Nothing is destroyed. Everything is transformed. Matter, energy, the incessant becoming of the universe to the rhythm of relative time. The expectancy of life, its continual mutation, its consummation sinking into endless evolution. What is the unknown rule that governs everything: a concealed thought or a single mathematical formula that regulates the movement of atoms, the recombination of molecules, as also the birth and circulation of our thoughts? Which weaves a web composed of millions of galaxies, stars and planets? Which shapes the universe or possible universes, inside and outside our imagination? In seven minutes, "Genesis" looks for an answer.
- Three roughnecks make a raid on a restaurant kitchen where a poor pastry cook ends up at the mercy of his tormentors, who are sure that they are safe.
