- This is a tribute to an artist whose songs told the story of Italy at a time of rapid social and cultural change. Thanks to the testimony of the singer's manager and friend Tobia Righi, and an effective and original use of archive material, Pietro Marcello retraces the life of Lucio Dalla, making him a spotlight through which Marcello sheds light on a country that rose from the ruins of the Second World War to sever its roots with peasant culture and move towards a future of factories, consumerism and mass car production. Not handsome or dashing like the other singers of his generation, Lucio Dalla embodied a different role model that was closer to ordinary people. For here was an artist capable of transposing the poetry of Roversi, who provided the lyrics for some of Dalla's most beautiful songs, into a musical arrangement that spoke to everyone. The director of Martin Eden returns to the documentary form with a film that pays tribute not only to a great singer but also to a notion of a people that has vanished with him.

- About the life and the many valuable talents of Giuseppe Bertolucci: film, theatre and TV director; writer and poet. It is told through the voice of his father Attilio (who refers to the "painful privilege" of being a younger brother), of his older brother Bernardo (who tells a story of heart-breaking sweetness about his birth), the witness accounts of friends and colleagues: Lidia Ravera, Mimmo Rafele, Marco Tullio Giordana and Nanni Moretti as well as the memories of some of his favorite actresses, Stefania Sandrelli, Laura Morante and Sonia Bergamasco. The story is told with the help of Gian Luca Farinelli (the director of the Cineteca di Bologna), and the participation of Fabrizio Gifuni, Emanuele Trevi and Aldo Nove (in whose texts we can find some of Giuseppe's thoughts). Roberto Benigni's final monologue was written as a homage to his now departed old friend. Giuseppe's physical presence and voice are found in interviews, backstage footage, debates and especially in his last and moving theatre performance: A mio padre - Una vita in versi (To my father - A life in verse), in which he tells of the anxiety and joy of his relationship with a father-poet who had made of him the topic of his lyrical production.
- Particle physicists are now heading toward the wide open and unmapped field of the "unknown unknowns".
- A richly documented, lyrical and visionary journey into an unknown universe: the origins of Italian silent cinema. An art and a dazzling industry that gave birth to the first international stars, to hundreds of peplum, melò and adventure films, and launched the first filmmakers. Its world of fasts and romantic deliriums, between Verdi's symbolism and D'Annunzio's decadentism, soon reached international fame, fascinating crowds, intellectuals and artists from all over Europe, reaching out to the United States and South America. The protagonists of "Italia. Il fuoco, la cenere" ("ITALIA - Fire and Ashes") are male and female directors, actors and actresses, technicians and critics who contributed to the exuberant originality of that cinema. The voices of Isabella Rossellini for the Italian and English versions and by Fanny Ardant for the French one, interpret the exceptional archive footage - most of it rare and unpublished - through the original words of those who contributed to and witnessed that aesthetic and cultural revolution. An art dedicated to the sublime, to sophistication and death: an era of splendor and the history of a country that would soon fall into the abyss of Fascism, from the ashes of which one of the greatest cinematographies in the world would be born again.

- Luigi Ghirri, an internationally renowned Italian photographer, wrote regularly throughout his life. His photography is reflected in his writing, which is at the same time a poetic affirmation, an existential argument, a diary that questions the present times. Starting from his writings, the documentary will retrace the crucial stages of the photographer's life. It will be a journey to the places of the province, a study of lands, water, hills, infinite horizons. It will be a research on his photographic work, conceived not in terms of a single image, but as an alphabet in which each image exists only thanks to the others. The companions of this journey will be the artists Franco Guerzoni and Davide Benati, the art historian Arturo Carlo Quintavalle, the printer Arrigo Ghi, the photographer Gianni Leone, the musician Massimo Zamboni and finally the family, which represented for Ghirri the feeling of belonging to an ordinary but united community. Stefano Accorsi will give voice to Ghirri's texts.
