Panzetti and Ticconi recount the dynamics of power through the evocative value of symbols. In this case the symbol of a rising power that chooses a bird to represent itself. Not a majestic and fearsome raptor like the eagle, an animal often used as a heraldic symbol of power. On the contrary, a bird that communicates fun and quietness by becoming, according to a popular western look, an exotic icon: the parrot ARA.

Orlando Shorts is the festival of queer short films selected by a group of young people under 25 from different realities and associations of the territory. The project, now in its third edition, sees this year a double modality: the short films will be presented in theatres during the days of the Festival, one every evening, and online for free on the Vimeo page of the Festival ORLANDO from 13 to 18 May, on the occasion of the International Day against homo-lesbo-bi-transfobia.

On the occasion of the anniversary of his untimely death and the rediscovery of his last work, a meeting on political and mélo cinema of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, incendiary exponent of the New German Cinema, whose legacy is echoed in the works of important contemporary authors, from Ozon to Dolan.
