Anna (Anna Carini Naturale)

A young filmmaker advocates the creation of a new type of film, devoid of a traditional plot and composed of blocks of sequences that have no specific interdependence.

Trapianto heralds the end of utopia, the death of that underground, but is also the best prologue in Necropolis, which is not by chance found alive.

Before the three feature films, Mario Schifano directs the camera towards the people around him to create real film diaries.

In the Search of the Miraculous is a multi-levelled story realized with extremely personal techniques and with the kind of atmosphere of Poetry and Introspection, only a poet could create. It is, in fact, the story of a poet searching himself through his love for a girl, and of the girl searching for her father. Obsequious to the iron rules of the avant-garde, the film has neither a beginning nor an ending it is a series of moods, it is a search which is at the same time spiritual and concrete, it is a moment in the life of two people. (Donatella Manganotti)
