Feuille (Leaf)

[ 49:55 ]
The strange story of two woman artists: Meihua, a Chinese painter who comes to Paris from the southern reaches of the Yangtze River, and Stephanie, a French photographer living in Paris. Sharing the same feelings towards art, and attracted to each other's cultures, they become good friends. But culture and personality conflicts tear them apart and, unable to accept Leaf (Stephanie) as her lover, Meihua unwillingly decides to end their friendship and return to her home country. The shocking news that Leaf has passed away awakens Meihua's deep feelings for her friend, and it is from this moment that the film's story unfolds in an obscure, poetic way.

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.

REWIND
A kid. A videotape. A boy. An insuperable boundary... Notes:I'm Daniele Santonicola and I'm 19 years old. The video was shot after I was chosen by a tv movie production to make a 2 minute short movie. It had to be written, directed and edited in only one day by myself.

Muriendo
It is said that dancing is the vertical expression of a horizontal desire -- and which dance could be better suited than tango to express a myriad of emotions like confusion, happiness, anger, love, or resignation? Inspired by Piazzolla’s Maria de Buenos Aires, a young woman dies in the streets. When she awakes, she believes that she escaped a bad dream, but her normal life turns out to be a continuation of her bad dream, until she has to realize that death has entered her life uninvited a long time ago, catching her in a cycle only she can end.

Whats A Man Without A Moustache
Set in the harsh surroundings of the rural Croatian coast, “Whats A Man Without A Moustache?” is the story of a young widow Tatjana who falls for the local handsome priest, Stipan. The priest is not blind to her love, but being torn between a bankrupt parish and forbidden love, he finds it hard to submit to the uncompromising Tatjana. Parallel to this is the story of a middle-aged widower Marinko, a re-patriot from Germany. He sees in Tatjana a perfect opportunity to conceive a pure Croatian male descendant, after already having a teenage daughter Julia, who can hardly speak any Croatian. To make matters worse, she is secretly seeing a local ecologist Stanislav whose profession is not considered to be manly enough. While unable to escape an environment of prejudice, illusion and Balkan mentality, each character is constantly lingering between tragedy and comedy in search of happiness, which is still to be found.

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.
