Gioli's name is often associated with those Italian filmmakers who frequented the Cooperativa Cinema Indipendente centered around the Filmstudio in Rome. But this is really an over-simplification derived more than anything else from a need to classify thi
Tan sólo el empeño de unos pocos y su pasión por el mundo explica que el cine experimental tenga en España manifestaciones extraordinarias, a pesar de las adversidades que ha conocido, en su producción, distribución y hasta hace bien poco, para ser considerado en el ámbito artístico.
“Ottimismo Democratico" (Democratic Optimism) is a video-itinerary of short films by Flavia Mastrella and Antonio Rezza created and produced between 1990 and 1999.
