Dreaming about Venezia 77.

La Piave is an attempt to describe the Piave river and its surroundings as a character in constant change. Each chapter shows a different research session in which the landscape is analyzed in its structure through individual shots, thus forming a naturalist mosaic that accounts for the different conformations of the territory over the years. This first part collects the documentation of the place made by me between 2017 and 2021, as well as a couple of found footage sequences.

To search. To remember and to search. To remember and to find. To search and to find again. In the labyrinth of the mind, the only way to find is to get lost in the limbo and start again from oneself.

23 days of waiting, boredom and light.

Experimental documentary on fog.

Devoured images.

From 1947 to 1969, the U.S. Air Force carried out a systematic study of unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings, codenamed “Project Blue Book.” Thousands of reports from American and European citizens were recorded during those years; more than 700 cases remained “unidentified.” The film reuses original documents from the now-declassified project, superimposing them over family footage from the same period. In the encounter between the domestic and the scientific, the familiar and the alien, a hidden portrait emerges of a nation haunted by its own astronomical obsessions.

An old woman relives her life through words.

A collective act of caring over the course of one night.

A trip along the beach of the Venice Lido.

This is not a flicker film.

A man in crisis, disappointed by others and by himself.

An exploration of the human body in the age of the internet through hundreds of Youtube clips.

Bodies in spaces and the search for emptiness.

Something from a year that never existed.
