Il Taglio di Jonas (Jonas' Haircut)

Italy, 2024, 10 min.

Director: Rosario Capozzolo

Jonas takes a journey to reach a beauty salon. Patty, the owner, will cut his hair. A haircut that will change both of their lives.

 

Uno dopo l'altro (One After the Other)

Italy, 2020, 10 min.

Director: Valerio Gnesini

An old man drives away with a little girl: it’s just the beginning of a story that touches the deepest sensibility and pushes ourselves to look inside us.

 

The Beggar and the Violonist (Sonata for a Homeless Woman)

France, 2025, 13 min.

Director: Louis Do Xuan

Inspired by real events witnessed by the director, a strange but moving encounter plays out on the streets of Paris between a schizophrenic beggar and a violinist who plays music for her every day. The violinist teaches a lesson on empathy, which should know no limits.

 

Home

France, 2023, 7 min.

Director: Audrey Pernis

The poem by British-Somali poet, writer, editor, and teacher Warsan Shire is so powerful that it was imperative for the two directors to put the official French translation to music and then to images, so that it could be heard by as many people as possible.

 

Evacuation of Mama Emola

Indonesia, 2022, 18 min.

Director: Anggun Priambodo

A prisoner is granted a temporary release to help evacuate his mother from the danger of a tsunami and is escorted by a Javanese female prison warden. The journey opens their eyes to many things, particularly those who exploit tragedy for personal gain.
