Reencuentro
by Andrea Montanari
3' 28'' / 2016 / Italy / 35mm / footage / exp

The film comes from the manipulation of 35mm film material, of old very different movie trailers each other. During the making of the film it showed the need to intervene with pictorial elements and perforations for enhanced images in sequence. With an assembly were cut and reassembled on movie film pieces that have given rise to a sort of "dream epiphany" of pre-existing material. The narration is defined by an "internal gestures" that is contextually develops to become music.
Andrea Montanari was born in Urbino -1970-. Since 2005 teaches Animation Cinema at the Art School " Fortunato Depero "in Rovereto. In addition to teaching he creates short films using different animation techniques.
En Mi Pueblo
by Paolo Zuñiga
4' 52'' / 2018 / Mexico / 16mm / documentary-exp

"En Mi Pueblo" is a film that reflects upon memories of home and place as they once were. Images of a rural landscape evoke feelings of a distant past while the delicate voice of an aging man imparts a sense of intimacy upon a life once lived.

The immortality of the crab
by Giacomo Manzotti
2' 20'' / 2019 / Italy / super8 / exp - animation

"The Immortality of the crab" is an experimental animated short film shot on super 8 film, made with in-camera editing and no post production. In this movie, the synaesthetic research between sound and image is accomplished by connecting the animations, made on 1125 cardboard frames, with an original soundtrack produced using only sounds sampled by handling pieces of cardboard. The title refers to the time spent between the birth of the embryonal idea and the production of the short. "The Immortality of the crab" is a south american expression, almost no longer used, which indicates the act of daydreaming. This film symbolizes the director's release from the spectre of procrastination, a condition he sistematically faced when daydreaming about possible ways to give shape to his idea.
Giacomo Manzotti is an Italian animator, motion designer and teacher. He likes to work with different animation techinques and started experimenting also with celluloid. He loves to simplify complex things.
Temple of Truth
by Giuseppe Boccassini
15' 24''/ Usa / 2018 / 16mm footage / exp
Temple of Truth is an archive that constantly ambulates amid tangles of decaying worlds, ex-perienced as petrified, deprived, residual traces, preserving in the process of taking along and transforming itself, a magmatic state, a specific, ancestral, sometimes whitish non-space. A liveliness of halfalive bodies , both human and animal, that catch fire in a latent bullfight and which, in becoming persōnae, inhabit sarcophagi which crumble into solid ground like streams of water that suddenly submerge clouds, swinging on the brink of a vertiginous fall of nocturnal glances in the middle of exotic poses and aerial visions.
Giuseppe Boccassini is an Italian filmmaker mainly working in Germany and Italy. His work has been shown at several international film festivals and exhibitions. His entire film production is distributed by Light Cone.
He is in charge of the programme at Fracto, an Experimental Film Encounter at ACUD macht neu, Berlin
Lick Every Drop

In 2015, four 8mm reels with hardcore pornographic films from the 60s were found in the trash. In 2019 we intervened them with sulfuric acid and caustic soda. The emulsion expands and contracts with the bodies, merger with each other until it completely disappears. A duel between the censorship and the explicit.
