OTTIMISMO DEMOCRATICO
| www.kiwidomediabookshop.com | Dvd+Book "OTTIMISMO DEMOCRATICO"
(Democratic Optimism) by Flavia Mastrella and Antonio Rezza. 12 short films in black white + "Il passato è il mio bastone" (The Past is my Stick)
(ita-eng dvd+book, 131', 64 pages (180x120mm), 19 €, serie: aut out)
"Ottimismo Democratico" is a video-itinerary of short films by Flavia Mastrella and Antonio Rezza created and produced between 1990 and 1999. A constant feature is the presence of Antonio Rezza 's tragic-catastrophic figure and (hypnotic) voice. The events tell of a culture in decadence. The stories, the voice and the settings are all dense with atmosphere, the body seen to be trapped in an alienating space where, in the fragments pieced together, the protagonism of a pedantic humanity stands out in all its meanness yet is extremely comical. Flavia Mastrella and Antonio Rezza have made an infinite number of short films, three full-length films, nine theatre performances, television programmes and various artistic and literary works. Their productions, all in black and white, have never been issued as home videos but have won numerous prizes in the main festivals of independent cinema and are now considered cult movies. Ten years of original, visionary and surreal productions immortalised by the photographer Martina Villiger in the book edited by the authors themselves. Special contents: photo gallery, graphic gallery and the unpublished documentary "Il passato è il mio bastone" (The Past is My Stick, Venice Days 2008) with amusing images filmed and unedited and with critical interventions by Cristina Piccino, Steve Della Casa, Giovanni Spagnoletti, Fabio Ferzetti, Marco Dotti, Paolo D'Agostini, Morando Morandini, enrico ghezzi and Roberto Silvestri.

OSTINATI 85/08
| www.kiwidomediabookshop.com | Dvd+Book "OSTINATI 85/08" by Roberto Nanni. From the Conversation with Derek Jarman to Steven Brown reads John Keats.
(ita-eng dvd+book, 129', 64 pages (180x120mm), 19 €, serie: immagini mosse)
Having learnt from experimental and vanguard cinema, as well as contemporary music, Roberto Nanni is constantly looking for a synthesis between a visual and audio language which can with rare non-chalance confuse documentation and abstractism. An emotional deconstruction that questions every type of language and refuses conventional narration. The book brings together notes, photos, sketches, precious testimonies of his research and of his intimate knowledge of technical and expressive means, as well as Stefano Catucci and Bruno Di Marino's critical texts.
The collection of his films includes: "L'amore vincitore. Conversazione con Derek Jarman" and "Greenhouse Effect. Steven Brown reads John Keats", video and music from the performances of Tuxedomoon's Steve Brown, with whom the film maker has collaborated for a number of years.
Extras: "Autoscatto" with Cesare Romani, Roberto Silvestri, Cristina Piccino, Antonio Rezza, Flavia Mastrella and new images of Jarman, an interview with Steven Brown and "AutoSfratto" with Skiantos' Roberto 'Freak' Antoni. "One of the greatest Italian experimenters, explorer of formats, styles and devices, solitary navigator of the mysterious abyss of emulsion, of matter and memory." Bruno Di Marino (Kiwido - Federico Carra Editore, 2009)

SEIZE THE TIME
| www.kiwidomediabookshop.com | Dvd+ Book "SEIZE THE TIME" by Antonello Branca. The Black Panthers Film (eng-ita-fra dvd+book, 140', 64 pag (180x120mm), serie: serie k)
A "cult" film of the 70s about the Black Panther movement, it was made in the United States following the work of the Black Panther Party from within. The title was inspired by the homonymous song by Elaine Brown who participated in the film. Antonello Branca constructs a narrative framework skillfully bringing together the canons of fiction cinema and documentary cinema. Only one professional actor, Norman Jacobs, who moves between pop-symbolic visions of imperialism to stars and stripes set against reality: area searches, student demonstrations, national guard drills, direct testimonies. An America where the black, and the "panthers" in particular, are assassinated in cold blood according to a precise repressive design. In the book: original unpublished photographs and comments by Nobuko Miyamoto, Antonello Branca, Italo Moscati and Elaine Brown. The Dvd also contains What's Happening?, an irreverent portrait of America of the 60s seen through the experiences of artists of the Beat Generation and Pop Art. The America of the Vietnam war, ploughed by contradictions and explosive social tensions but potentially saturated with expectations for the future. With: Andy Warhol, Allen Ginsberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Gregory Corso, Fred Mogubgub, Marie Benois and Leon Kraushar. (Kiwido - Federico Carra Editore, 2010)
