Pasolini. Cronologia di un delitto politico

An investigative film, an "investigative itinerary" from 1960 to 1975, in the story of Pasolini alive, in search of the political truth of his murder. A violent death in the world of homosexual prostitution. And the "truth" is definitely written in black and white. But what happened to the testimonies of the inhabitants of the Idroscalo? Through testimonies and visual archival material, the true story of the assassination of Pier Paolo Pasolini is reconstructed in the documentary.

Appunti per un romanzo sull'immondezza

In the spring of 1970, between the African Orestiade and The Decameron, Pasolini shot a film for which he wrote a commentary in verses but never finished editing. The film was born as a typical Pasolini intervention: filming the strike of the garbage collectors in Rome, who at the time worked in dramatic health conditions, and filming the humility of their daily work, amidst the waste and scraps of society, in the squares and in the streets. Pasolini also filmed the faces of garbage collectors engaged in claims discussions and the result was an extraordinary anthropological picture of an unknown humanity.

Profezia - L'Africa di Pasolini

Pasolini seeks in Africa the peasant and revolutionary authenticity he had sought in the Roman villages.

It is an Africa that starts from the outskirts of Rome, but thousands of non-EU citizens flock to the sub-proletariat of the villages.

Guida per camminare all'ombra
