Panaria’s Guys by Nello Correale
“I ragazzi della Panaria” tells the fascinating and adventurous story of 4 Sicilian guys who in 1947, at the end of the war, set up a film production company, that in few years allotted a place in the history of the cinema. For a series of concomitances the Panaria Film finds itself in the core of the biggest cinematographic-sentimental scandal of all times: the war of volcanoes which took place among Holliwood, postwar Rome and Eolie islands. An human, artistic and productive confrontation in which clashed Rossellini, Anna Magnani, Ingrid Bergman and the Panaria’s aristocratic guys, “prompters” of the film Stromboli and producers of Vulcano, a film against the general trend. Francesco Alliata, Prince of Villafranca and Duke of Salaparuta lives in Catania, he’s more than 80 and he’s the only Panaria’s guy still alive. He had as partners the Prince Pietro Moncada, Renzo Avanzo, Quintino of Naples and just for a certain period Fosco Maraini. Through the direct testimony of Francesco Alliata, the pictures, the documents and the films of his archives, our film-documentary aims to make relive the adventurous season of 50 years ago that registered, among many records, (the birth of underwater cinema with the documentary “Cacciatori sottomarini”, first cooproduction with Americans in the film “Vulcano” by Dieterle, first European Technicolor film “La carrozza d’oro” by Renoir, first underwater color film “Sesto Continente” by F. Quilici) also the record to take Holliwood, the industry of the American cinema, to the Sicilian archipelago.

Migrant workers back home - "Gastarbajteri nazaj...
The documentary film “Gastarbajteri nazaj doma” (Migrant workers back home) is a poetic portrait of three former migrant workers who left Yugoslavia in the seventies to try their luck in Germany. The economic boom of post-war Europe produced an increased demand for labour. Hence so called ‘Gastarbeiter’ (guest workers), mostly from Yugoslavia and Turkey, were invited to work in the car industry and custodial services. Whereas Germany became a new home for some of them, the protagonists of the film decided to return to their home country. However, being back home they had to realise that a lot of things had changed: not only people have changed, but also the political system – a new state was born. During insightful interviews, Malika, Jože and Marija speak about their experiences of leaving their families, living in a foreign country and returning home.
