In ancient Roman religion, the Ludi Florales was a festival in honor of the goddess Flora, held April 27 during the Republican era. In Latin, the festival was known as the Ludi Florales, the Games (ludi) of Flora. Under the Empire, the games lasted for six days.

A train station in Sicily. There are two people in the waiting room: one is “the man with the flower in his mouth” in the film's title, who has confronted and threatened a mysterious woman outside the station. The other is “the peaceful customer,” who missed his train because of presents for the women in his family which hindered him as he ran and made him trip on the train tracks. The man with the flower in his mouth has helped the peaceful customer and immediately establishes a relationship of trust and empathy with him. The two recount their lives, but whereas the peaceful man talks about his frustrations, the man with the flower in his mouth keeps steering the conversation toward just one topic: death. Everything seems wrapped in mystery, starting with the identity of the woman outside the station...

A darkness swirls at the center of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the artistic director, an ambitious young dancer, and a grieving psychotherapist. Some will succumb to the nightmare. Others will finally wake up.

Metachaos, from Greek Meta (beyond) and Chaos (the abyss where the eternally-formless state of the universe hides), indicates a primordial shape of ameba, which lacks in precise morphology, and it is characterized by mutation and mitosis. In fact the bodies represented in METACHAOS, even though they are characterized by an apparently anthropomorphous appearance, in reality they are without identity and conscience. They exist confined in a spaceless and timeless state, an hostile and decadent hyperuranium where a fortress, in perpetual movement, dominates the landscape in defense of a supercelestial, harmonic but fragile parallel dimension. In its destructive instinct of violating the dimensional limbo, the mutant horde penetrates the intimacy of the fortress, laying siege like a virus. Similar to the balance of a philological continuum in human species, bringing the status of things back to the primordial broth.

The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise but is actually a dark, dangerous world.

Let the rhythm get into your head.

Undulating Lovecraftian gutbags straight out of your worst (best) nightmare. Per Bavari, “Videos entirely made with the use of A.I.”

Mindblowing. Literally. Acclaimed Italian photographer Alessandro Bavari turns to filmmaking with this short, surreal tour in and around the cranial cavity.

It is believed that additional dimensions beyond space-time may explain gravity and the unification of the fundamental forces. This is a field that remains the subject of research in quantum physics and advanced mathematics, with structures and connections that may be beyond our current understanding. Of the 64 hypothesised dimensions, 24 are said to have been observed. This first section presents the macroscopic experimental analysis of 16 of these 24 dimensions.
