              Nisida
              ES ES-OVNI CTX-S012-SS007-0101 · Item · 2006

              A prison on the island of Nisida, in Naples, is home to 40 adolescents aged between 14 and 21. The kids design masks to hide their identities during the shooting of the film. It is this very facet which contributes to establishing an increasingly intimate rapport with three of the inmates – Enzo, Rosario and Samir, confronted by prison life, invite us to share their daily routine of school and work, boredom and captivity. They also recount their stories and share their moments of hope and disappointment. If the objective of their punishment is, as stated in the Constitution, re-education, the film questions the compatibility between learning and imprisonment.

              Circo Togni
              ES ES-OVNI CTX-S012-SS007-0106 · Item · 2007
              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
