My room, the desk, even the brass plate with my name on the legal office door of my father. But there were around those movies, in those years… And the music that you captured from the soundtrack! I have to thank these five films, these “Five Easy Pieces” (but not simple), because they are among those who have kept me from being a lawyer. A movie can change your life? In my case the answer is yes. We reveal the five titles including the Palme d'Or at Cannes Jules and Jim by François Truffaut's 1962, IF… Lindsay Anderson 1968, ALICE’S RESTAURANT di Arthur Penn del 1969 e THE STRAWBERRY STATEMENT di Stuart Hagmann del 1970.

Speaking of Italian authors ITALIANA.CORTI the section reserved for unpublished Italian short films. this year are 13 titles, enclosed in 3 programs "baptized" by the Rolling Stones. Pure Rock n Roll. each of (small) film is a universe unto itself that follows its own rules and its trajectories. The short is radical by definition. In 2015 They were awarded Le Dossier de Mary S. Olivia Molnàr (best short Film) and the sweet home of Elizabeth Falanga (Special Jury Prize).
Another section not to be missed is WAVES, that following instinctively the fate of the nouvelle vague in contemporary film drifts, Also this year is the interpreter of that unfinished dialogue between the finiteness of narration and the infinity of languages. Eighteen of various film footage, that respond, each in its own way, looking for a relationship distinctly expressive and passionate film between the History, with its events, and stories, with their experiences. For a closer look, and put together the films selected are marked by the fate of a cinema that forces his own classicism, converses with the modernity of the Masters, and thus cross-examine the present time with the tools of investigation that is first of all linguistic, expressive.
We are a year according to the retrospective ” THINGS THAT WILL. EARTH VIEW FROM THE CINEMA “, the representations, mostly catastrophic-apocalyptic dystopian, that cinema has given the Earth of the future, often mediating the literature. As mentioned by the Artistic Director Emanuela Martini "Here is a new path through predictions that are sometimes made and that have not lost topical. The disconsolate considerations on love and loss of feelings of short films by Jean-Luc Godard to the painful warning from Bertrand Tavernier about the possible drifts of TV shows; the journey in 1984 imagined by George Orwell to that in the memory and in the time of Chris Marker's masterpiece; from the hectic metropolis awaiting the end of the world (Toronto in Last Night di Don McKellar) the desertified worlds and ruined post-end of the world (Glen and Randa di Jim McBride, The last bout di Luc Besson); from the deadly games of Rollerball (the original Norman Jewison) e Battle Royale di Kinji Fukasako, to “toys” who bought conscience and do not want it to disappear Spielberg and Salvatores. There are rare films (il cecoslovacco Icarus XB 1 di Henry Polak), unknown films that became cult small (A Boy and His Dog di L. Q. Jones), satire frantic and anarchist (Mr. Freedom di William Klein, Sleeper di Woody Allen, Action mutant di Álex de la Iglesia), film to be reassessed in the dramatic actuality of their narrative, come Demon Seed di Donald Cammell (a computer that wants an heir by a woman) e The Stepford Wives di Bryan Forbes (affluent suburban husbands wives who prefer robots to those in the flesh).”
