The Catholic Church secretly investigates Caravaggio as the Pope weighs whether to grant him clemency for killing a rival.

Director Marco Bellocchio stirred Cannes with this extraordinary film. A gripping historical drama recounting the true story of a six-year-old Jewish boy, Edgardo Mortara, who was abducted by the Vatican in 1858. From the moment the Pope‘s soldiers burst into the Bologna home, we are swept into an enthralling tale. A nursemaid had secretly baptised the child, and under Papal law, Edgardo
must receive a Catholic Education.

Bellocchio explores historical anti-semitism with an operatic
sweep. It is a brilliant study of what happens when human values are abandoned by dogmatic authoritarianism. Sixty years of filmmaking give 83 year old Bellocchio an assured mastery of a period film with old-school grandeur. It is an unforgettable story that remained with me long after the lights came up.

An endless summer in Calabria is the setting for a gently humorous generational clash between a shy, young pianist and a magnetic ageing rockstar. Anita (Casadilego) sits at her piano, diligently preparing for the conservatory instead of enjoying a carefree summer. Soon, her notes attract the attention of Vins (Tomasso Ragno), a charismatic older rocker who has lived life to the fullest. Immediately recognising her talent he is compelled to share his ways of experiencing music and encourages her to find her own voice. It will be a summer of discoveries for both of them
as they both uncover the true meaning of being an artist.

Actor, Casadilego (Anita) is a genuine musical talent, both as a pianist and singer; in 2020, she won XFactor Italy (a huge, televised, talent competition). This is a film for music lovers from Chopin and Beethoven to Ella Fitzgerald.

The Eight Mountains is the story of a friendship. Of children becoming men who try to erase the footprints of their fathers, but who, through the twists and turns they take, always end up returning home. Pietro is a boy from the city, Bruno is the last child of a forgotten mountain village. Over the years Bruno remains faithful to his mountain, while Pietro is the one who comes and goes. Their encounters introduce them to love and loss, reminding them of their origins, letting their destinies unfold, as Pietro and Bruno discover what it means to be true friends for life.

Filmed in Gianni Versace's mansion in Miami where every object is a separate work of art, the documentary attempts to bring the genius of the Italian fashion giant to life. Through archival material and the confessions of friends and former colleagues, a portrait of a Renaissance designer emerges, a man who never stopped being inspired by his time to create a strictly personal universe of high aesthetics. The director drags us into his vortex and referring to his work underlines that Versace was not only one of the greatest and most influential contemporary designers, but walking on the sharp intersection between classic and modern, he redefined the way we perceive fashion and clothing.

A police lieutenant named Franco Amore on the night before his retirement is called to investigate a crime scene where his best friend and long-time partner Dino has been killed during a diamond heist.

The forbidden love between Andrea, the reluctant heir of the Malatesta family, and Marilena, the beautiful wife of the Camporeale boss, rekindles an old feud between two rival families. The fatal passion brings the clans back into war, in an ancient land, not so different from the far west, where only blood can wash out blood, following the ruthless codes of the local mafia. But Marilena, now cast out by the Camporeale and prisoner of the Malatesta, contended and reviled, with the strength only a wounded mother ripped away from her children can have, will oppose to a destiny which seems already written.
