Echo of the Carso

Echo of the Carso

2025 • 16 min • Italy
June 1st, 1970. Giuseppe Ungaretti, eighty-two years old, wakes at dawn on his last day of life. Something calls him back, toward the places that forged him. The short film weaves two temporal planes: the elderly poet undertaking a dreamlike journey across the Carso, and the young twenty-eight-year-old infantryman who in 1916 wrote verses in the trenches while his companions died beside him. Time bends — the old man traces the word "TIME" on the fogged window, the young man the same word in the mud. Two identical gestures separated by fifty years. The poet's soul crosses the landscapes of memory: the Ungaretti Park, the old field hospital with soldiers' graffiti carved into the walls, the trenches where the stone still holds the echo of bombardments. Here he encounters his own young ghost — a soldier frantically digging in the mud while shells explode and someone screams "Gas! Gas!", desperately searching for his notebook. "I'm looking for something," he answers those who ask if he's lost his mind. In the present, the old man's hands sink into the same earth and find an old bullet corroded by time. A relic of the war that never left him. The journey ends on the panoramic terrace, with the Isonzo flowing in the distance. Ungaretti sits on a stone bench, places the bullet beside him, and speaks his final words: "This is my Carso." The cane slips to the ground. The poet does not move. Fade to black: June 1st, 1970. "Death is paid for by living."

LEDGE

2026 • 19 min • Malaysia
LEDGE traces a decade in the life of Amir, a man relentlessly pursuing a dream that refuses to let him rest. Across ten years, his journey is marked by sacrifice, setbacks, and moments where giving up feels inevitable. As he pushes forward, a question quietly lingers: is it the journey that defines us, or the destination we strive to reach? Unfolding like a fractured memory, the film shifts through time—moments colliding, truths blurring between reality and perception. At its core is a man consumed by ambition, yet haunted by the cost of chasing it. Because dreams are never pure. As Amir’s path spirals through isolation and the slow erosion of self, the line between passion and obsession begins to fade. What does it truly mean to “make it”? And when success is finally within reach, what remains of the man who started the climb? Told through a haunting non-linear rhythm, LEDGE challenges the illusions we build around success—asking not how far one can go, but how much one is willing to lose. Because sometimes, the ledge you find yourself standing on… isn’t the one you set out to reach.

And she is lucky not to be alone. She has Mina and Elli, her nieces, in her life. The two sisters have completely different personalities and priorities, but they must cooperate and make a difficult decision concerning their elderly aunt, who has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. However, when hidden family secrets come to light, everything changes. The film "Don't Leave Me Behind" speaks in a special, touching, and humorous way about elderly people who face the problem of senile dementia.

Emilio

Emilio

2026 • 9 min • Italy
A slice of cake, three strangers and a strong personal motivation. These are the three elements around which the story revolves – in fact, a dialogue – between three people who do not know one another, but who all want the same thing: a slice of cake, precisely. No one seems willing to let go of the object of their desire, whilst the conversation increasingly turns into a verbal clash, oscillating between barbs, anecdotes and moments of incomprehension. Inspired by Jim Jarmusch’s Coffee and Cigarettes, EMILIO allows the viewer to eavesdrop undisturbed on the conversation of three characters vying for a dessert and, at the same time, conceals a symbolic and profound narrative that nods to Jungian psychoanalysis and its archetypes of the Self, Shadow and Anima.
