- DirectorAlessandro G.A. D'AlessandroStarsLuigi CiottiAdele CorradiAngelo D'AlessandroBarbiana, December 1965. The Director Angelo D'Alessandro goes to Mugello, in Tuscany, to Don Milani, for an inquiry into conscientious objection. The meeting with Don Lorenzo and the boys from the Barbiana school was to change his goals. Angelo D'Alessandro "collects a unique testimony", shared by Don Lorenzo himself, who narrates, speaks, and elucidates. BARBIANA '65 - The Lesson of Don Milani was born out of the retrieval of the material shot by Angelo D'Alessandro, the only filmmaker Don Lorenzo ever allowed to film the daily life of his school. The images of 1965 show us who were Don Milani's first students. His school focusses above all on those most disadvantaged, the children of the workers and those without material means. Don Lorenzo's purpose is clear, to make his students into true citizens, men capable of getting to the bottom of things, a reason with their own minds. The original film footage shows some moments and aspects which are fundamental to the Barbiana School: the collective writing, the reading of the newspapers, the older boys who teach the younger ones. But there is also the manual work performed by the boys. And in the midst of them, Don Lorenzo, discussing, explaining, questioning the boys, and himself included. Because now that he is in front of the camera, there are questions that regard him too. Around these images of 1965, there develops the story with the testimonies of Adele Corradi, the teacher who lived the experience of Barbiana with Don Lorenzo, of Beniamino Deidda, former Procuratore Generale of Florence, who after the death of Don Lorenzo, continued to teach the boys of the Barbiana school, and Don Luigi Ciotti. School, Constitution and Gospel are the three pillars on which the Milanian philosophy is developed, which finds its culmination in the reading which Don Lorenzo gives before the camera, of his letter to the Judges, the text written as defense against the charges of Apology for crimes, in the trial that awaits him in Rome. The film therefore gives back to us with great force, the voice and image of man, who today, more than ever rep-launches the theme of conscience and obedience, of justice and solidarity, of a school whose aim is that each student should become sovereign of himself.
- DirectorDario AlbertiniStarsAndrea LattanziFrancesca AntonelliGiulia GoriettiManuel, who is now eighteen years old, leaves the education center where he was placed five years before when his mother Veronica was jailed.

- DirectorGiorgio FerreroFederico BiasinStarsAndrea Pavoni BelliVan QuattroDanilo TribunalBeautiful Things is a journey into our obsessive consumption. The many objects we accumulate and we believe to be essential begin their production journey in silent secluded industrial and scientific sites. The film describes the hidden mechanical liturgy within four different remote locations where bordeline men work in complete isolation without any interference from the outside world. These men trigger, unconsciously, the long chain of creation, transport, commercialization and destruction of the objects feeding our bulimic lifestyle. They are monks inside temples of steel and concrete. They repeat the same liturgy every day. And we don't even know that they exist.

During the last months, the building has been occupied by the residents that don't have the slightest intention to be evicted by the bank that holds the property. Inside the house, Daniel comes across his family in full swing during young Caterina's birthday. She is one of his neighbors and had a weakness for him. But the boy has no desire to make merry and, taken his mother aside, he discloses her, his reasons for visit; Jamal and she must leave that place as soon as possible, because the next day, he will come with his squad to remove them. But Tangela and Jamal do not have intention to move themselves from that place considered as their home. Daniel is compelled to give up. Before leaving, he calls upon them to organize a copious resistance to be able to negotiate with the ownership. The day after, Daniel in uniform goes back to the occupied building, together with his flying squad team. The occupants succeeded in getting organized, they got barricaded, they called movements and reporters, but everything is useless, there is no chance for negotiation or deferment.
