Brief synopsis:
di Andrea D'ambrosio e Maurizio Cartolano (Ita, 2009, 60') sab 5
The ghetto of San Nicola Varco has been talked about for years now in Campania. This was an disused structure intended as a fruit and vegetable market but which became a settlement for hundreds of immigrants, without safeguards and without rights. The fi lm investigates the submerged world of the gang bosses, the young ghostimmigrants who work ten-hour days, living at the mercy of unscrupulous people, behind whom often lurk obscure and shady interests. The story also tells of another facet, of social solidarity. It looks in particular at Anselmo, the trade unionist with the Pasolini face, who works daily to help these desperate people who have come from a country far away

di Giovanni Cioni (Ita, 2009, 68') lun 7
In 1652 Naples was overrun by the plague. The bodies of the its victims were laid to rest in the Fontanelle Cemetery, where thousands of bones appear to be waiting for a gesture of pity or compassion or affection. In exchange for the kindness of living persons who adopt a skull, the dead reveal themselves in their dreams. A search of lost time that is a meditation on the remains of that which we no longer see and which continues to palpitate among the undulations of the gaze and the conscience. It is a journey never before seen, through the alleyways of the Tribunali, the Quartieri Spagnoli, the Sanità, Montesanto, the Cemetary of Poggioreale, and the Limbo of children. The heartof the Kingdom of Naples.

Franco Arminio lives and works in the eastern area of Irpinia. He is the inventor of a new form of literature, "landscapeology”, a discipline as
essential as it is inexistent. He can't manage to live in Bisaccia, nor can he manage to leave it. He wanders round remote, abandoned villages where most of the inhabitants have left, “to find life” and only the weakest have remained. He is a fisherman of desolation, and his peregrinations are a search for the pure and for authentic naturalness in a world that changed so completely after the 1980 earthquake

Caravaggio rereads his letter to Battistello Caracciolo. He tells his painter friend how tormented his spirit is. How the murder he committed weighed on him like a great mass, while his painting fi lled him with joy. The governors of the Naples church of Pio Monte della Misericordia commissioned Caravaggio to create “The Seven Works of Mercy”, one of the most important religious paintings of the seventeenth century. In the painting, the fugitive both presents and hides himself among the persons that crowd into the canvas. All are watched over by a Madonna and Child, pleased at so much human mercy.
