Franco Piavoli is one of the most important directors among Italian independent panorama. Through the years, He built one unique and authentic cinematographic grammar. Born in 1933, He spent his whole life in Pozzolengo, a small village near Garda’s lake. There, He imagined, wrote and - for the most part - shot his own works. We visited him in his house, with us only two reels in super 8mm, and asked him to tell us about his next movie.

MovieDocumentary
Never repentant, never a collaborator with justice, but a 'political soldier' as he described himself in an interview with Sergio Zavoli, Vinciguerra remains a solitary cell, who over the years has repudiated right-wing militancy mixed with the state and its democratic system. Not a neo-fascist, but a fascist, determined to serve his entire sentence without seeking any reduction, as a reminder of the interference between the state and black terrorism, Vinciguerra despises all forms of democratic systems and anyone who is part of them.

A meditation on death and technology. In 1924, the Phoebus cartel established a fixed lifespan for a light bulb: 1,000 hours. This strategy, which defines a product's life cycle with the aim of facilitating its replacement, has been called planned obsolescence.

Movie
In a hypothetical intergalactic journey we could not recognize any constellation, the mapping of the celestial sphere is nothing but a vice of the gaze. The proximity close to any star we would identify others, visible only from this new perspective: the sighting. To the keen eye, pixels are stars and everything is possessed.
