- A journey to the roots of Italian folk music through the images and the words of its greatest interpreter, Caterina Bueno. 'Caterina' is a portrait of the main researcher and interpreter of traditional folk and peasant singing in Italy. Indeed, it was thanks to Caterina Bueno's work (Fiesole, 1943 - Florence, 2007) that a wide repertoire of songs, orally transmitted up to the 20th century, was recovered and saved from oblivion. Since the earliest '60s, a life devoted to music and research took Caterina on national and international stages, making her a key figure in the cultural world of the time. Her path crossed those of Italy's major contemporary intellectuals, such as Dario Fo, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Umberto Eco, including artists such as Giovanna Marini, Fausto Amodei and Francesco De Gregori. 'Caterina' represents an interesting journey through the social and cultural change occurring in Italy in the years of the economic boom and, more generally, reflects on the relationship of a country and a community with their own cultural and historical memory.

- In the aftermath of the death of Marcella Di Folco, which took place in 2010, Simone Cangelosi, director of the film, embarks on a journey that takes him from Bologna to Rome, Marcella hometown, to start a search to discover people, places and memories able to return to him the complexity of the figure of his friend. A Noble Revolution aims to decipher the historical dimension of one of the most prominent personality of the Italian political movement for civil rights of the last forty years, Marcella Di Folco, leader of the MIT (Transsexual Identity Movement). The reconstruction of the film, however, does not want to be objective, but done through the filter of an intimate relationship, that one between the director himself and protagonist.
- Ferrania is a place, a factory, a globally recognized brand that, for decades, made the history of photography and cinema in Italy. But Ferrania today is a desolate territory, where many former workers of the factory live, looking for a new direction. The story of Ferrania, the film factory planted in a small village in the Ligurian hinterland, has turned 100 years old. It is at the same time the story of a huge factory, of a company, of a brand, of a territory: an entire valley involved in the chemistry of the photosensitive, generations of men and women who, in the dark, created photographic rolls, cinematographic films, X-rays, printing plates. A technologically advanced factory, enclosed within Art Nouveau buildings, surrounded by workers' villages, crossed by the Bormida River and lapped by the railroad, nestled among the Adelasia forests. From the installation in the hamlet of Ferrania of an explosives factory in 1915, passing through fascism, the long phase marked by the leadership of Engineer Luigi Schiatti, the acquisition by the Americans of 3M, labor struggles, speculation and mistakes, we arrive at the abandoned, almost lunar scenario where the protagonists of the film move and where, despite everything, there are entrepreneurial activities that are trying to be reborn.
