Still life with electric current, stop-motion animation.

7 April 2006 Alberto Grifi, a year before his death, is interviewed for the last time by Roberto Silvestri and canecapovolto. What emerges in the interview is the portrait of an underground filmmaker who was always intrigued by the dual aim of pursuing scientific and artistic research simultaneously, and whose cinema, influenced by Grotowski's method, was made by people whose objective was to understand how life works by interpreting roles that allow them to live experiences which were totally different from their own ones.

Short movie by canecapovolto.

An experiment at “montage” which adopts the structure of minimalist music and delves into the issues of live sound recording. This work is inspired by the novel “L’uomo a tre gambe” by Julius Evola, from which it inherits the extremely repetitive structure.

Talking about the story of the Gaza genocide with other images and other words is possible. The discovery of some slides in a high school in Catania is the starting point for analyzing the origins of Israel's military occupation of Gaza by resorting to the etymology of the words used to describe what expressions like "terrorist" or "military occupation" mean, while the drawings of Amos, an Israeli child who portrays his imaginary friend Anya under the worried gaze of the babysitter May Golan, point out that most horror stories have deep roots in everyday life. Invention and black humor try to overcome the (denied) reality of an apartheid and a normalized genocide, exposed and simultaneously removed.
