People, silences and images

Where stories leave a trace

Bergamo Winter 2020

While the city closes itself in silence

and counts its dead,

a small group of homeless people

keeps living at Orio al Serio airport

no longer in the background, but alone on stage.

A true story of dignity, fragility, and small gestures

that hold on

even when everything else stops.

Notes, images and stories in progress

A father and his son reach Isola dei Pescatori, on Lake Maggiore.

What begins as a simple journey slowly turns into a descent into old memories, hidden rituals and shared silences.

Among boats, fog and processions on the lake, something emerges that the island seems to have guarded for centuries.

A slow, atmospheric Italian folk horror, where fear comes from community, memory and what is left unsaid.

Sparrows

A young researcher watches a group of sparrows every morning on a café table while working on a technology that could connect artificial intelligence and human consciousness.

Between suburbs, hidden laboratories and marginal lives, Sparrows is a story suspended between neuroscience, poetry and contemporary mystery.
