CLUBS & STYX
Director/ Andrew Blackall
Tales to tell? The matter of fact ramblings of a deluded mind or subversive truths dancing from the loose tongue of an enigmatic gentleman whose stories of a debauched elite controlling our very lives seems to echo its way through the tobacco smoke of centuries? Filmed on location at the Denis Severs House in London’s Folegate Street, actor David Bailie plays a mysterious man. Alongside him, Delia Edwards, his house keeper, Poly, joins him in a home of faded elegance peppered with the intrigue and memories of copulating aristocrats, politicians and spies whose corrupt antics our story explores as though the viewer is with him, drinking hot chocolate and eating Poly’s biscuits as the fire pops in anticipation of each uttered morsel of erotic mischief. An historical drama exploring the extraordinary lives of the Bonnie Prince, Sir Francis Dashwood and his fellow Hellfire Club members whose blasphemy laden coven colluded to cause as much mayhem as possible during a time of famine and starvation amongst the greater population. Carving out deals for their own gain whilst hiding away in gated homes dripping with the privilege their class had so cleverly teased from the public purse. David Bailie tells the story in such a way that you can almost smell the pipe smoke. In the style of fireside story telling, Clubs & Styx endeavours to explore the the stories that shaped the world in which we live today.

QUALCOSA RIMANE
(English subtitles)
Director/ Francesco D'Ascenzo
An encounter with fifteen masters in different branches of culture, who, having happily reached their final season, make themselves available to be filmed while they speak about their work, about old age, about death. The outcome is a chest containing rare images and precious words. A document to be passed on to posterity. The simple and informal chats take place in the homes – of the great actor, of the famous poet, of the successful writer, of the appreciated musician – and all bear an input to give start to a monologue, which turns into a dialogue among all the interviewed persons who, even if rich of years, anecdotes and success, skip the temptation to insist on aspects of their long biography and, with reference to Giacomo Leopardi, turn to consider "their present time, and its sound”

TYRANT
Writers:
Andy Barreca, Cataldo De Palma
Dr Landis, a shy psychologist and researcher,conducts an academic experiment on the physiological reaction of the human being to emotional inputs. During this research, he is aided by his trusted colleague and friend Milgram, and by the sensual Ph.D. student Natasha, with whom Landis is secretly in love. Milgram is talkative and charming, the opposite of Landis, who, under stress, is a victim of hallucinations and nervous tics.
The experiment does not give the results desired by the two professors. They decide to raise the stakes and have their testers perform increasingly macabre and violent experiments. Two-thirds of the participants overcome their ethical opposition and, "for the sake of science", carry out orders imposed by Milgram, even agreeing to cause physical violence to other people. This sick development of research leads the two to a shocking discovery: obedience is not imposed by an inability to understand what is right or wrong, but by identification with a source that passes off cruel actions for virtuous and necessary gestures. Landis and Milgram hold the secret to a real tyrant manual. Landis, driven by his moral correctness, wants to keep the discovery secret. On the other hand, Milgram, driven by lust desire for fame, wishes to divulge his discovery and win the Nobel Prize. This opposition leads the two researchers to clash, revealing an unexpected personality of Landis, which rises after he witnesses Natasha suffer violence by Milgram’s hand.
