Ermanno Taviani

The 1978 kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro, president of the most important political party in Italy at the time, Democrazia Cristiana, as seen from the perspective of one of his assailants -- a conflicted young woman in the ranks of the Red Brigade.

After the 1815 Restoration, an aging revolutionary finds himself reluctantly involved in an attempted insurrection in Southern Italy while growing increasingly disillusioned with his cause.

Romantic entanglements develop between three young Italians frustrated by their current economic and social status.

The "1968" movement in Italy and around the world represents an extremely complex and nuanced event. The curator attempts to unravel some of the main threads of an intricate web of events, figures, processes, and cultures. From the first signs of the new youth movement in 1966 to 1969, the narrative unfolds non-chronologically, exploring emotion as well as historical reconstruction.
