Homo Cinematographicus is a human species whose unit of measurement and point of reference is the cinema and its derivative, television. Filmed at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival, the film offers an unspecified number of statements, talking about memories and a thousand fragments of stories, titles and film scenes, the warp of a gigantic collective Chanson de geste.

A Mondo documentary focused on the 1960's American lifestyle, consumerism, religion, adversity, and oddity. An outsider's look at a country afflicted by episodes of racism and neo -Nazism. Scenes of a Ghost Town, LSD in NYC, Sunset Strip Los Angeles California, Amish, Klu Klux Klan, African-American Fashion Show, etc.

The film takes place over the course of a single night: the longest night of the year, between December 21 and 22 (the winter solstice), when the sun sets around 4:30 p.m. and rises the next day at 7:30 a.m. A long night in which the stories, destinies, anxieties, and dramas of a provincial town in the south (Potenza) intertwine, even if only briefly. Fifteen hours of uninterrupted darkness in which human destiny becomes exceptional, as the night causes the anchors of the day to be lost and four personal stories suddenly accelerate.

A young woman remains prisoner of a cursed forest infested with strange creatures. Olivia Is a short film written and shot in only four days by the Oredilm troupe with the help of the students of Liceo Artistico Federico II of Corato, for the contest 4 days a week. Under the pretext of the Fantasy-horror Fairy tale the work of the director Byron Rink tries to tell the Italian problem of the plague of the olive trees caused by the bacterium Xilella fastidiosa. The Eco-horror becomes then the metaphor to tell monsters much more scaring than the cinematic ones. The short film has already received some honorary mentions and it is winner of the Apulia Web Fest in the category ‘”Best Cinematography” and at Golden Lion Film Festival as “Best Fantastic Short Film”. It has been defined as a ”black and white small, deep, heart breaking poem”
