6:00 P.M.
6:00 P.M. is a short film that explores the human drive to understand, to find, to feel. It explores the feelings of nostalgia and longing, but also tells us about contemplating beauty in small things, and giving new significance to events. Everything told through one conducting line: the rain.

Les Facettes
The short film Les Facettes materializes an idea in the space between realism and surrealism. In a film noir style, the central theme of forgiving is darkly and emotionally coming to live on screen. Rose, a modern, 24-year-old woman, is being pushed out of a car on the road next to a mysterious park in the middle of the night. Fleeing, she experiences surreal nightmarish situations blurring the line to her reality. Voices speak revealing fragments of her past. She meets a masked person that signifies manipulation, egoism and the dissociation of the self. Next, she stumbles upon a bound and hurt man symbolizing human suppression. Rose’s character transforms on her way through the unknown world. She had intended to take revenge on a friend of hers, but she finally manages to understand her victim’s perspective. She decides to follow the good side of her self and forgives her friend. Thus, the story transports a message of breaking the spiral of vengeance.

The Loss
A young woman goes on a short trip. Emiliano, her boyfriend, does not initially seem to be worried by the distance. Being left alone, after weird events start to follow one another, he eventually starts to think about his feelings. Story and main character’s behaviour are just a way to tell, through symbolism, what is going on in the mind and the heart of one who suffers a loss: anger and absence, neglecting the reality in front of one’s eyes.

please leave a message
“Please leave a message” is the research of the space that defines our freedom. The protagonist, Akiko, is a young Japanese girl coming to Rome apparently as a normal tourist. In fact she’s here to build up a new memory of her new personal world. Akiko is collecting objects to have a synthetic catalogue of what has a deep meaning to her. Excluding herself from the rest of society she decides to be forever locked into her own new constructed reality by using her voice mail in Tokyo as black box of her consciousness. By the end she will be free, but completely lonely. The price of awareness of the matter of scale that life sometimes represents to us is a total self-imposed exclusion.

Mother Economy
Mother Economy a short visually stunning experimental fiction film by Maya Zack, 2007 Mother Economy follows the actions of a lonely housekeeper during a day at a house, navigating through the domestic space in order to find traces of family members. She is documenting the position of the objects, drawing marks around them and sketching them in her notepad.

1%
Summary: The blind walker tries to take him trusted burden tough, without loosing self-control and with primordial gullibility. He joins all his forces in order not to feel as a stranger but became a resident of this city with his all entity. There in each action everything starts from the beginning. There is no logic but there is a sequence. The extent of this gives a tragedy to the film. The blindness is not a dark for him – the measurement of divine emptiness by 1 % sight. It is rather the form of the loneliness of inner world. We release that emptiness and that unnamed pain as well. Nevertheless this world is not as closed as it seems to us and bringing the hope, amazing freedom in its world without the way out.

LISA
FICTION, DRAMA: Lisa and her diary. Lisa and her thoughts. Lisa and her dreams. A trip in a young girl's life, when everything seems extreme, definitive, with no way out and it's hard to get in touch with others. But destiny is just around the corner and thanks to little simple miracles, life can change.

60 : Ticks
'60 : Ticks' explores the idea of how something so perpetual and monotonous controls the way we live. The philosophical contemplation of the human mind and the mechanics of the time pieces imitate one another. They bleed into each other as emotion becomes robotic and time becomes sporadic.
