SPECIAL SCREENING
DEAD SOULS BY WANG BING
In Gansu Province, northwest China, lie the remains of countless prisoners abandoned in the Gobi Desert sixty years ago. Designated as “ultra-rightists” in the Communist Party’s Anti-Rightist campaign of 1957, they starved to death in the Jiabiangou and Mingshui reeducation camps. The film invites us to meet the survivors of the camps to find out firsthand who these persons were, the hardships they were forced to endure and what became their destiny.

TOUCH ME NOTBY ADINA PINTILIE
Tell me how you loved me, so I understand how to love.Together, a filmmaker and her characters venture into a personal research about intimacy. On the fluid border between reality and fiction, TOUCH ME NOT follows the emotional journeys of Laura, Tomas and Christian, offering a deeply empathic insight into their lives. Craving for intimacy yet also deeply afraid of it, they work to overcome old patterns, defense mechanisms and taboos, to cut the cord and finally be free. TOUCH ME NOT looks at how we can find intimacy in the most unexpected ways, at how to love another without losing ourselves.

Where are you, João Gilberto? sets out in the footsteps of German writer Marc Fischer who obsessively searched for the legendary founding father of Bossa Nova, Brazilian musician João Gilberto, who has not been seen in public for decades.

EACH AND EVERY MOMENTBY NICOLAS PHILIBERT
Every year in France, tens of thousands of young women embark upon studies that will lead them to become nurses. Over three intense and difficult years, they will need to acquire a great deal of knowledge, master numerous technical procedures and prepare themselves for heavy responsibilities. Three years to build themselves up, supporting each other when things are too tough, when they flag a little. Nicolas Philibert aims to follow some of them in order to relate the ups and downs of an apprenticeship that will confront them, often at a young age, with human fragility, the flaws in souls and bodies, suffering, illness, and occasionally life’s end.

After BOATMAN in 1993, Gianfranco Rosi made BELOW SEA LEVEL in 2008, a portrait of an unfamiliar America, which won the Venice Film Festival (Orizzonti) and the Cinema du Reel, among others. With EL SICARIO ROOM 164 (2010) he plunges deeper into the unspeakable madness of the world. The film won Venice (Orizzonti) and got awards in many other festivals.
In 2013, he shot SACRO GRA, a film taking place on Rome’s ring road (the GRA), which, far from the iconic monuments of the city, becomes the stage for the history of those marginalized in a capital in permanent expansion. SACRO GRA won the GOLDEN LION in Venice in 2013.
With FUOCOAMMARE (2016), his trenchant examination of Lampedusa and the tragedy of clandestine migration that has battered the island for twenty years, he won the GOLDEN BEAR at the Berlinale in 2016, the European Film Awards and got an ACADEMY AWARD© NOMINATION for Best Documentary.
