DOCILE BODIES

Docile Bodies is a documentary film based on Annibale’s Journey across the Alps, performed by the inmates of Torre del Gallo Prison and directed by Stefania Grossi. Through disciplined gestures, repetition, and restrained movement, the film observes how power and obedience are inscribed in the body, transforming confinement into presence.

Directed by Stefano Conca Bonizzoni Distributed by OpenDBB

CASTAWAYS OF KERCH

I Naufraghi di Kerch reconstructs the forgotten history of the Italian community in Crimea and their deportation to the frozen steppes of Kazakhstan in 1942. Through archival traces, testimonies, and landscapes marked by absence, the film reveals how a removed memory resurfaces on the shores of a vanished sea, intertwining personal stories with the broader fractures of European history.

PELLE - in progess

Pelle is an antimilitarist immersive XR documentary that explores war as fatigue, repetition, and loss of meaning rather than heroism. Set in a suspended mountain landscape inspired by the White World War, it transforms historical memory into an embodied experience.

Directed by Stefano Conca Bonizzoni (Unipv) Produced by Virginia Valesio (Fondazione Links)

Milan, Turin, Padua, Rome, and Rimini reawaken after the pandemic in a mini-series distributed by Mediaset, documented by five award-winning filmmakers who portray the rebirth of a country following the event that turned our lives upside down.

VIS A VIS

During the first weeks of Leonardo and the Madonna Litta, a camera observed the gazes and expressions of visitors contemplating the masterpiece from the State Hermitage Museum. Vis-à-Vis, conceived and produced by Storyville and directed by Stefano Conca Bonizzoni, was born as a tribute to a short and poetic film shot at the Hermitage in 1966 by Pavel Kogan, Look at the Face.

More than fifty years later, the same experiment is repeated, placing the two films in dialogue and presenting them together in the Sala del Collezionista at the Museo Poldi Pezzoli side by side.

MAYA's COFFEE DEFENDER

Maya Coffee Defender brings attention to Indigenous communities and coffee cooperatives in Chiapas as they confront the fragile balance between tradition, climate change, and global markets. Through daily labor, collective knowledge, and resilience, the film portrays how local growers—supported since 2019 by the Fondazione Lavazza—defend coffee not only as a crop, but as a cultural and economic lifeline, facing coffee rust, environmental disruption, and unequal access to information.

COFFEE DEFENDER - El encuentro

Meta Coffee Defender is set in the highlands of Meta, Colombia, where cocaine plantations have been replaced by coffee fields. Through an observational lens, the film portrays the fragile rebirth of land and livelihood, following farmers reclaiming soil, knowledge, and autonomy. Against ecological and economic uncertainty, the transformation from conflict to cultivation unfolds through everyday gestures, as the support of the Fondazione Lavazza quietly accompanies a process of long-term change.
