I’ve tried to get the viewers to ask questions and take part in the story. It’s the best way of avoiding boredom, and transcribing desire. Which, for me, is life’s great mystery. You realize pretty quickly that the hero stays here because he wants someone. Even if the whole thing is shifting. He himself is the object of desire. And I’m also very interested in the confusion that this stranger and his unclear intentions can bring. I like the fact that we don’t know who the villain is, and we don’t really know which side we’re on. [...] I’m well aware that I’m almost always working on the same questions, the same motifs, and I play with that, with what’s expected of me. But I also want to surprise, to surprise myself, to renew myself. Perhaps it was also time for desire not to end in sex. I don’t know if anyone’s said this before, but it seems to me that people used to film fights to avoid filming sex. In a sense, I’m going in the opposite direction. In any case, here, desire isn’t clear either, I’m not looking for resolutions, there’s also a main character who imagines things, and so must the viewers, just as I have (and still do)."

Michele, Tiziana, Nino, Antonella, Filippo, and Belinda are six creatives tapped to take part in Dedalus, a new social game that claims it will redefine the Web 3.0 world and make the winner rich and famous. Confined to an isolated arena, the contestants go head-to-head playing games that get more and more dangerous. What started out as a simple game slowly morphs into something completely different, and the creatives, contestants at first, turn into killers and victims of an elaborate vendetta. . screenplay Vincenzo Alfieri Nicola Barnaba Roberto Cipullo Francesco Maria Dominedò cinematography Andrea Arnone editing Francesco Galli music Alessandro Bencini production design Alessandro Bigini costumes Giorgia Maggi cast Luka Zunic Matilde Gioli Francesco Russo Giulio Beranek Giulia Elettra Gorietti Stella Pecollo and with Gian Marco Tognazzi producer Roberto Cipullo co-producers Marta Leone Massimo Natale Alessandro Leone productions Camaleo Eagle Pictures Weekend Films co-productions Koboflopi Agresywna Banda Italian distribution Eagle Pictures “Dedalus is a revenge movie, a dark dystopian thriller that examines the dysfunctional relationships between human beings in the social network era. The film prompts viewers to reflect on our contemporary age, when putting oneself on display and having an online presence are well-near indispensable, and the line between private and public lives is more and more blurred. To get likes and visibility, people go to extreme lengths that can put their lives and those of others at risk. In this fluid mass society, the notions of ethics and good and evil are challenged and redefined daily. Everyone can express their own opinions and find themselves in the spotlight in a matter of hours, while everything they produce can potentially get shared, liked, and have the entire world in its grip. The film plays out in just this setting, of a globalized social media, and ponders these issues by sticking to the genre without shortchanging entertainment and action, making sure the audience is holding its breath the whole time.” (Gianluca Manzetti) Gianluca Manzetti (Rome, 1990) holds a film history and criticism degree from Rome Tre University, Department of Performing Arts.

After an incident at their high school, Wei, an outgoing only son from a middle-class family, and Shuo, his quiet, perceptive classmate, find themselves connected through some mysterious energy that draws them intimately into each other’s lives. Wei soon invites Shuo to his home and introduces his friend to his father, a cell biologist, and his mother, a former flight attendant. Learning that Shuo comes from a troubled background, Wei’s parents welcome this boy with an enigmatic charm to spend more time in their home. Slowly integrating himself into Wei’s family life, Shuo discovers that their comfortable existence is shadowed by unspoken secrets, unmet expectations, and untended emotions. A tragic incident further complicates their lives, putting past wounds and present anxieties under the microscope. screenplay Lin Jianjie cinematography Zhang Jiahao editing Per K.

In this film, I examine a family both as a living cell going through changes on multiple levels, and as a cell of our evolving society, which inevitably shapes the psyche and sentiments of its people. When Wei’s family’s seemingly harmonious middle-class existence is disrupted by Wei’s mysterious friend Shuo, they see a chance to establish new homeostasis. While doing so, the undercurrent of their relationship surfaces; collective and individual needs clash; the boundaries of physical space and emotions are blurred. Even though I did not set out to make a genre film, genre found its way into my writing and filming — not as boxes to put the film in, but as a way to delve into the characters’ minds and their ambiguous relationships; to create a mysteriously seductive tone, and to invite the audience to look beyond what they see, listen beyond what they hear."

He received his MFA degree in filmmaking from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.

My mother was involved in the struggle against the dictatorship and had to go into exile in Mexico when I was three years old. She did it for her own safety, but also in order to carry on the struggle. I remained in Guatemala with my grandmother. This is why I never was my mother’s son. I was my grandmother’s son, and I saw my mother as a friend, as a big sister. I never doubted her love for me, but I needed her presence, and she just couldn’t give it to me. [...] I chose to set the story in 1986, the year of the World Cup in Mexico. That year is part of my childhood memories and offers an interesting contrast between the joyous popular atmosphere and the difficulties faced by the revolutionary militants. 1986 was also a pivotal year for Guatemala: the authorities had proclaimed an amnesty law which allowed the resistance fighters to surrender without punishment, as long as they collaborated with the government. Many militants who had grown tired of the struggle returned to Guatemala. Later, we learned that the government manipulated these reformed militants in order to strike the resistance even harder." (César Diaz) After studying in Mexico and Belgium, César Diaz (Guatemala, 1978) joined the script workshop at FEMIS in Paris. For over ten years, he has been editing fiction films and documentaries.

Karoline, a young factory worker, is struggling to survive in post-World-War-I Copenhagen. When she finds herself unemployed, abandoned and pregnant, she meets Dagmar, a charismatic woman running an underground adoption agency out of a candy shop, helping mothers to find foster homes for their unwanted children.

But what is the right way of doing so? A cold world creates cold methods and Karoline's moral compass easily loses direction. The good looks bad and vice versa. We follow Karoline on a journey trying to escape poverty, where she learns that it is easy to flirt with the devil but it takes a big effort to love. With her husband missing in action after the war, she experiences a humiliating romance that leads to an unwanted pregnancy. For a woman like Karoline, life becomes a living hell – and with this film I wanted to explore if it is possible to be good in hell."

The idealistic prison guard Eva faces the dilemma of her lifetime when a young man from her past is transferred to the prison where she works. Without revealing the secret the two share, she asks to be moved to his block, the toughest and most violent in the prison.

There are a number of female officers in the film, and Eva is the only one that separates from the group. What separates Eva is not her gender, but rather her level of implication. Still, of course, she’s a more maternal figure in a very masculine, violent environment, and that plays into the larger themes of the film. [...] I think that the film is ultimately about a woman who is herself imprisoned by grief, and her need to break out of that prison. Revenge and forgiveness are two possible ways to do so. But the film hopefully goes beyond saying one is right, and one is wrong. For me it is important to leave the audience with some questions..."  (Gustav Möller) Gustav Möller (Gothenburg, Sweden, 1988) graduated from the National Danish Film School in 2015, his thesis film the short In Darkness.
