- An upside-down world where women are in power and men look after the family. Domenico retells his story to his daughter starting with a tender memory. In a letter he re-lives the joys of her birth, her childhood, the dreams of a happy family, but also of the painful sacrifices of a father and husband, sacrifices that suffocated his real aspirations and desires. Using found footage, In Her Shoes rewrites History: men united in a liberation movement. The images from our past no longer tell of who we were, but create a challenge. What would men have done if they found themselves in women's shoes?

- The story of a journey to meet the latest republican voluntary fighters veterans of the Spanish Civil War.
- Pozzuoli and its surroundings are places with an ancient and distant history. Thus we are reliving some dramatic episodes of an almost forgotten past: the matricide of Agrippina by Nero; the oracles of the Sibilla Cumana; the young Christian martyr Artema, killed by his classmates; Maria 'the crazy', a warrior heroine who saved the city from enemies. But next to the past is the present. In the early seventies, the phenomena of bradyseism flare up in the gulf. The Gioia family, which lives on fishing, is forced to leave the house several times because of the risk of a sudden landslide. Repeated moves lead to the progressive disintegration of the family unit. The difficult relationships sentimental of the children, the opposition to the public force that orders the eviction, the death of the father are so many stages that mark painful generational and existential passages.
- This is a tribute to an artist whose songs told the story of Italy at a time of rapid social and cultural change. Thanks to the testimony of the singer's manager and friend Tobia Righi, and an effective and original use of archive material, Pietro Marcello retraces the life of Lucio Dalla, making him a spotlight through which Marcello sheds light on a country that rose from the ruins of the Second World War to sever its roots with peasant culture and move towards a future of factories, consumerism and mass car production. Not handsome or dashing like the other singers of his generation, Lucio Dalla embodied a different role model that was closer to ordinary people. For here was an artist capable of transposing the poetry of Roversi, who provided the lyrics for some of Dalla's most beautiful songs, into a musical arrangement that spoke to everyone. The director of Martin Eden returns to the documentary form with a film that pays tribute not only to a great singer but also to a notion of a people that has vanished with him.
- It's been twenty years since Genoa, 2001. Twenty years is the time in which a newborn becomes a person: nowadays there is an entire generation that is autonomous and present, yet which was not born at the time. Twenty years is the time in which a boy becomes an adult, and an adult becomes an elder. There are two generations who have gone through that experience, in one way or another, and twenty years later they cannot consider it closed. The dream of Genoa 2001 is not over, because the themes of those days - growing inequality, finance which concentrates resources in few hands and makes precarious or crushes the others, environment robbery, great migrations - are today's issues, only more urgent. And the violence of Genoa 2001 is not over, because that violence has been told many times, and counter-told, celebrated or condemned, but never understood or resolved. Now is the right time to talk about it: to start from Genoa to go beyond Genoa, and to understand what Genoa means.
- The mechanisms of the construction and assimilation of gender in contemporary Italian society will be observed through a kaleidoscopic mosaic of scenes of daily life: what are the choreographies of bodies, collective rituals and behaviors that determine our identities? In images with a strong visual impact, Normal tells the story of normality that makes it alien to us and explores the daily and collective staging of the male and female universe in which we all participate.
- The books of Vittorio Giardino, master of the graphic novel, explore the history of the 1900s. Today, the artist is working on the final chapter of his Jonas Fink trilogy, so it is the perfect moment to look back over this great master's work.
- The True Story of Luisa Bonfanti is a particular film that moves on the border between the documentary and the fictional film. In fact, using the narrative mechanism of the "mockumentary", La Vera Storia by Luisa Bonfanti wants to tell the golden age of Italian cinema and a season of political struggles between the sixties and the early eighties. Luisa Bonfanti is a fictional character who wants to represent the many women who dreamed of success in the glittering world of film. In her path, Luisa meets some of the real protagonists of that unrepeatable season such as Ettore Scola and Citto Maselli. The film mixes original footage, with repertoire material from film archives to reach the truth of an era and an unforgettable character.

- We witness the 1960s and 1970s with a particular focus on the "Hot Fall," seen through the eyes of a CGIL trade unionist. The factories and the workers discussed in his affectionate and ironic way are not only parts of a myth but instruments of higher powers and expressions of a half democracy.
- The film mixes images of today and yesterday, still images and moving images through a dialogue between two photographers and two filmmakers and photographers.
