The Citizens of the Wombs

Director: Ebadur Rahman
Documentary-Experimental 84' Bangladesh/Germany 2014

Synopsis: The seamless mix of fiction and non-fiction, the hyper-real look and the mostly un-staged documentary content, in The Citizens of the Wombs, makes for a gruelling viewing experience in the realm of the taboo and déclassé.

The Noon Demon

Directors:  Stella Sollai and Pierfranco Zappareddu
Fiction-Experimental 123' Italy 2013

Synopsis: The Moon Demon is the result of close collaboration between the artists Pierfranco Zappareddu and Stella Sollai and Marco Rocca. It’s difficult to draw the roles that each of them has held during the making of the film because every aspect has been analysed jointly, intersecting the specific skills of each one looking for a uniform aesthetic.
