Discover New Films

the double switch

Director: Jeancharles Atzeni.
In an experimental comedy blending wit with intimacy, we follow two characters as they film their way through Paris. While lighthearted Lucy records a women’s rugby tournament for a sick teammate, reserved Kader documents life and love as a wedding videographer. Using a handheld camera style, the film gives viewers a naturalistic glimpse into two stories combined by a twist of fate. As Kader explores his past, Lucy captures the joyful energy of her teammates. Moving from one tape to the other, the film captures the commonalities and contrasts between Lucy and Kader’s perspectives. When their stories collide in a public park, the two films combine into a new and unexpected story. Humorous, unique and romantic, The Double Switch explores love as the product of art and chance. 

The Droid

Director: Marc Goldstein.

THE DWARFS

Director: Piotr Sulkowski.

A teenage girl wakes up in a dollhouse and discovers that she is watched by a giant eye peeping through the window. It turns out that one of the Dwarfs holds the dollhouse in his hands. Suddenly he smashes the door by the flick of his finger and puts his monstrous tongue through the hole...

 

The Elected

Director: Patrick Vella .

How would the Christ be exectuted in Nazi Occupied Europe? A priest is praying on an altar in a WW2 Shelter when an evil entity transports him back in 1938, on Nazi Occupied Grounds. He finds himself in a dark cold cell in Jewish Gettho. Little does he know that he is being accused of treason against Nazi forces. Accused by a Jewish Rabbi infront of an high rank SS official, he learns that his name is Jesus. 

The Escapade

Director: Olcay Seda Özaltan.

Logline: When a simple but well-groomed young single mom has to take the night shift leaving her twin girls alone with her grandmother, the grandmother falls asleep and the kids start doing what most of the women could recall as “one of the most enjoyable things in life” from their childhood memories.

Synopsis: 
A single mom with 6-year-old twin girls in her mid-30s works at a job requiring night shifts. While she is still at home, she makes Turkish coffee and comes into the living room where the kids are playing with memory cards. The telephone rings as she is drinking her coffee. A friend of hers is calling. When the mother leaves the room to talk on the phone, they begin to drink the coffee, which reveals that they tend to get naughty when they find the chance. Meanwhile, we learn from the telephone conversation that the mother will be taking the night shift and her grandmother will be looking after the girls. 
In the evening, the kids sleep in their beds and the mother is ready to leave for work. She comes into their room and kisses them goodnight. She calls out at her grandmother, but 73-year-old grandmother doesn’t give an instant reply as she is half asleep. After the mother leaves, the grandmother falls asleep again. As the slim girl with the curly hair guesses this could happen, she comes into the living room to check whether the grandmother is asleep already. When she makes sure of it, she goes into the bedroom with her sister to monkey about the chest and the drawers, which they like to do very much. At first, they were calm and quiet but the things and costumes they find turn the night into a little party night for them. At the end of the night, an-unlock-with-a-key- sound is heard, which is also familiar for most of us in our childhood memories.

The evolution of Puppetry

Director: Mariano Melman.
ELMO is not like any other puppet you have seen before, he have lived long enough to see a clear evolution of mankind and its positive and negative sides. He is going to take you to different moments of history to point out when humans stopped being mere thinking animals to become power greed puppet masters. The evolution of events will lead you to the actual media bombarding situation and why there is a sine qua non inevitability to keep human minds entertained. Graduation film at London College of Communication, created and directed by Mariano Melma

The Fantasy Factory

Director: Jerome Genevray.
Jean was brought up by his father to worship Super X Man, the super hero of Sex. He falls in love with Audrey, who spent her childhood reading love-filled fairy tales.The collision of their contrasted upbringings leads them to create the Fantasy Factory, a initiation for their child to the wonders of love and desire.

The filmmaker is an athlete. Conversations with Vittorio de Seta.

Director: Barbara Vey and Vincent Sorrel.
This portrait of a film director unlike any other attempts to capture the essence of Vittorio de Seta’s rapport with the humble people he filmed and elegantly brought to Cinema Scope’s big screen in color from the 1950s onwards. From his home in Calabria, the film director looks back over his epic films. Starting with the sound on his earliest short documentaries, this craftsman of the screen and pioneer of sound tells us how he went on small fishing boats catching swordfish, to the depths of sulfur mines and to the top of Mount Stromboli to film and record. Then, evoking his feature-length films such as “Diary of a Schoolteacher”, “Half a Man” and “Bandits of Orgosolo”, Vittorio de Seta explains how filming other people also involves a certain amount of soul searching.
