ROAR OF THUNDER. A love story
ROMBO DI TUONO. Una storia d'amore
Documentary, Italy, Point Nemo Srl; supported by MiC - Ministero della Cultura, Regione Autonoma della Sardegna and Sardegna Film Commission
The encounter between Gigi Riva and Sardinia was an extraordinary one between two great and lonely souls, mistreated by life and history and seeking redemption: a young man alone in this world, who prematurely lost his family, and a destitute island, a land of “shepherds and crooks” ridiculed by the rest of Italy. Riva found in Sardinia a home and a new family; Sardinians found in him a hero, the national treasure that would allow them to raise their heads proudly to the rest of the country.
JAZZ SUITE FOR A DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY
Feature film, tragicomedy, Italy, DUDE Originals
During the same week three siblings all have a breakdown, increasingly overwhelmed by fears and anxieties that are leading them to lose control of their lives. We soon understand that their problems are due to a dysfunctional family situation, where each of them has different parents, everyone is trapped in their own neurosis, and every attempt at communication fails miserably. But just when they resign themselves to the idea of being on their own, they will each manage, through bizarre inner journeys, to find personal, unexpected and liberating ways out.
