SOUVENIRS OF WAR

Documentary by Georg Zeller / 74’/ 2023 

When is a war over?
Souvenirs of War offers an essayistic tour to Bosnia, more than two decades after the last armed conflict in Europe, when many sites of sorrow have become tourist attractions. A journey along the fine line between dark travel and empathetic memory, where some enjoy playing combat games on authentic battlefields, while others still struggle to make their traumatic legacy become an opportunity.

Directed by Georg Zeller
Cinematography by Stefania Bona, Georg Zeller, Amel Đikoli
Produced by HELIOS SUSTAINABLE FILMS (IT)

International Premiere at SARAJEVO FILM FESTIVAL 2023 (BH)

THE VALLEY

Documentary by Nuno Escudeiro / 76’/ 2019 

High in the French Alps, on the border between Italy and France, migrants fleeing war, poverty and political persecution risk their lives crossing dangerous mountain routes. Witnessing the increasing influx of refugees, local communities in the Roya Valley start providing them with shelter, food and legal counselling. Since transporting and hosting undocumented migrants is a criminal offence, these good Samaritans find themselves on the wrong side of the law, sometimes even facing jail time for their acts of civil disobedience. At a time when migration issues in Europe are politicized and thrust into the media spotlight more than ever before, The Valley documents the battle between the population and the authorities, who themselves blatantly violate human rights when refusing to process asylum seekers and minors’ requests. This gripping and necessary chronicle rightfully reclaims the ethical duty of solidarity, criminalized by a perverted system.

THE GOOD INTENTIONS 

Documentary by Beatrice Segolini / 84’ / 2016
Role: DIRECTOR / EDITOR / WRITER / CO-PROTAGONIST / 84’ / 2016

Both protected and exposed by the camera, Beatrice and her film crew attempt to break the taboos around her family’s history of abuse. Her questioning pushes all the ancient removal mechanisms to the surface: everyone’s fear, denial and sense of guilt hit back, and soon Beatrice’s own intentions are questioned. Nevertheless, her presence pushes the entire family towards unavoidable questions: what are the consequences of those years of violence and psychological manipula-tion? Why is everyone blaming themselves? Would a confrontation pave the way to make peace with the past? More than an autobiographical documentary, the film is a kamikaze journey to face a family’s traumas: its intense confrontations are a unique occasion to sense all the efforts, the difficulties and the doubts that occur whenever a taboo is being broken, through a sincere but cruel exploration of the removal mechanisms surrounding domestic violence. The viewers find themselves inside a psychological thriller, in which each family member fights for their own truth: a nightmare, where everyone is innocent - and guilty at the same time.
