              Circo Togni

              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              A documentary constructed from 8mm film footage found in a terrible state inside a caravan, which shows the Togni family and their circus from the 1930s and 40s to the 70s. Time and unfavourable conditions had deteriorated the film, which was stuck together, damp and dusty. New technologies allowed the filmmaker to recover almost all of the footage. Darix, a circus legend, and his family, the men, women and children, the animals and the incredible journey across the Alps with elephants in 1959 – a modern version of Hannibal's classic enterprise. http://www.memoriadelleimmagini.it/archivio/filmati.php

              Sheep breeders who see their sheep die from dioxin. An environmental teacher who fights against environmental crimes. Farmers who cultivate land polluted by the nearby dumps. Stories, reports and testimony of the massacre of a land. We are in Italy, in the Campania region where there are 1200 unauthorised toxic waste dumps. In the background, the Camorra business that uses lorries and mechanical diggers instead of pistols. A Camorra with white collars, deviated entrepreneurial activity and colluded institutions...

              “What is today, is not what it was yesterday nor what it will be tomorrow.” In this sentence the despair and the resignation of the ex fishers of Muynaq, a little city on those being the coast of Aral Sea. The city, being a ghost one by now, and its inhabitants are the victims of an unstoppable environmental disaster, going on since decades.

              bandite
              ES ES-OVNI RSC-3476 · Item · 2009
              Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

              The documentary Bandite gives back to the history of the Italian Resistance, the women support at the liberation fight as expression of parity and equality between gender, a crucial moment in which the women exit from their historical role of mothers, housewife and wife and assume that of criminal, clandestine, partisan. The women were not, as official historiography says, only simply assistants of the men partisans, cooks or nurses, many of them were guerrila, ready to take weapons for the liberation of all people. Not only the recovery of a part of the historical memory, often left in the oblivion, but also its re-thinking for the analysis of today and as example for a social and political renewal of the future.
