Films in development
ROJO CLAVEL
a film by Roser Corella
When Manuel Liñán takes the stage at each dance performance, he finds the freedom to be himself that he never had as a child. His father wanted him to be a bullfighter, but he dreamed of dancing and the colourful flamenco dresses he used to wear secretly in his room. Today, in each performance, he appropriates the traditional rhythms of flamenco in an innovative show that breaks all the taboos of gender stereotypes to discover how contemporary this art is.
FRAGMENTS OF HOME
a film by Roser Corella
Using her smartphone camera, a young woman invites us into her world and her life in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime. Her name is Aziza. She refuses to surrender under the shadow of the gender-apartheid ideology that grows darker by the day as it spreads across the country.
CARBONIA
a film by Stefano Obino
I was born in a city as old as my father: 86 years. A city built to house miners and fuel Fascist Italy’s dream of self-sufficiency. Carbonia—the city of coal. It fought every day to exist. A city without a past, created solely for workers, always at risk of vanishing whenever work grew scarce.
Its story is my story—the story of my family and my father, who left the city of coal to chase the utopia of a proletarian revolution. He eventually reached China and later inspired the Italian comic book character Molotov, an icon of the uncompromising left.
When do memories become indelible? Perhaps only when they tell a story. Only then are they not lost—like tears in rain.
KICK-OFF
a film by Roser Corella & Stefano Obino
In a small village in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan, where conservative traditions don't allow women to enjoy their free time, Gazi organises a football tournament for the women of the village on the occasion of her mother's birthday. Women of all ages are encouraged to participate! As they have no experience in football, they start training on the outskirts of the village, away from the gaze of the men, who are not invited to the tournament.
SUPERHEROES
a film by Stefano Obino
17 new superheroes are born in the Syrian Refugee Camp in Iraqi Kurdistan! They have unexpected superpowers: they build schools, houses, and paved roads, distribute love in people's hearts, and fly with butterfly wings to bring Domiz 1's children to visit their fathers, who have left in search of work to rich Europe. They will then show their superheroes on the streets of Domiz 1, with the incredulous eyes of the community around them, waiting for the magic to happen.
Because, after all, if you believe it, you will see it!
