Venice Film Festival - Back in Fashion

Written by Kaleem Aftab on Friday, 18 September 2009 10:35
The Venice Film Festival has been suffering from a lack of ‘cool’ in recent years. The trouble is not the location, the Lido is a smart island close to the legendary St Mark’s Square, or the weather, it’s pretty much blue skies, but that in these tight times it’s just too expensive, and you know it cost a lot when Hollywood studios think twice about coming.

Circuito Off

Short films to me have their own appeal and I am always curious to discover what the directors have to tell, confess or express.

Sleep Dealer

Written by Claudio Gallo on Wednesday, 01 July 2009 21:05
The thought provoking film, SLEEP DEALER, brings us to the not so distant future of relations between Mexico and the United States. The world is completely militarized, borders are closed and a troublingly evolved internet sells memories-not blogs. Amusing and disturbing at the same time; the TV broadcasts U.S. fighter pilots as they control drones to blow up suspected terrorists while the public watch with the same oblivious fervor that they now watch American Idol. The highly imaginative brainchild of director/writer Alex Rivera, SLEEP DEALER depicts a completely globalized social infrastructure and tackles the immigration issue with a refreshing dose of satire.

Gomorra: A Must See for True Mafia Flick Aficionados

Written by Sonia Almanza de Gambaro on Monday, 09 March 2009 18:36

Some of you may have read the articles last year about how Naples, Italy was in a garbage crisis. The news showed images of garbage piled along streets sometimes two stories high. The Italian government had given large contracts to mafia backed companies to build incinerators, but when there were no landfills or incinerators to take the refuse, it was pretty obvious that the government had been robbed yet again.
