PLSTC
Laen Sanches / 2 min / 2022 / France

TERRA MATER – MOTHER LAND
Kantarama Gahigiri / 10 min / 2023 / Italian premiere / Rwanda, Switzerland
Powerful is the silence of the images of the men motionless on the African mountains covered with rubbish. The marabou seem ready to feast. And She stands, like a goddess of technological junk, surrounded by plastic and foul-smelling fragments. The people cry out, asking for respect for Mother Earth, but the heaviest accusations are in the whispered words, which sound like a hymn to freedom for all of Africa.
MATTER OUT OF PLACE
Nikolaus Geyrhalter / 105 min / 2022 / Austria
In the mountains of Switzerland or in the Maldives, on the Balkan coasts or in the deserts of Nevada, we no longer know where to put the enormous amount of rubbish that is submerging even the most remote places on the planet. The fight over waste disposal is like Sisyphus' futile toil. The film's powerful images say much about the interaction between man and the planet's resources.

FUTURISMO
Michil Costa goes so far as to define “porno-alpine tourism” that which aims at exaggerated entertainment, at the continuous construction of new infrastructures, and at the compulsive accumulation of photographs and selfies, without consideration and respect for a fragile environment such as the mountains. The author of FuTurismo (Raetia) is a hotelier and writer. His is a radical and very timely reflection that proposes a different recipe for experiencing tourism in the mountains. Alessandra Albarelli converses with the author.

LE PROPRIETÀ DEI METALLI
THE PROPERTIES OF METALS
Antonio  Bigini / 93 min / 2023 / Italy
In the 1970s, there were investigations into some children in rural areas who knew how to bend metal. Pietro lives with his widowed and debt-ridden father in a small village in the Apennines, marginalized by his peers and studied by an Italian-American professor because of his extraordinary ability to bend metals. His interiority merges with the magical element of the peasant world which, in that historical period, was disappearing.

OMBRE A MEZZOGIORNO
SOUTHERN WIND
Enrico  Carnuccio / 75 min / 2023 / Italy
The images of a Turin in post-industrial transition alternate with those of a semi-depopulated Calabria. Tullio and Rita, Calabrian immigrants during the economic boom, travel through a double-identity journey, observing the shadows that the great Italian migratory wave has left both in the South and in the North, with the dual gaze of those who left without ever leaving.
