Profiteers of Fear

2009 • 56 min • Germany

A certain degree of influence by the pharmaceutical industry on politics and authorities would not be surprising. The examples of large pharmaceutical companies directly influencing political decision-makers, ministries and authorities are too blatant. And thus decisions were made in favor of the industry. Paid specialists, bought-in experts, influenced politicians - independent decisions do not seem to be a matter of course in the healthcare system. "Profiteers of Fear" sheds light on the entanglements between politics and business.

Zanzibar. Una storia d'amore

2009 • 45 min

Zanzibar was the first women only bar in Italy. It opened in 1978 and since that moment, it was a target for police so that it could be considered a sort of Italian Stonewall. It was a different place from the others, a place of struggle and meeting, the emblem of the Italian feminist movement and its internal multiplicities. Zanzibar is the story of a place. It is the story of love for a place and the love story between two women imagining a place in which a different social living could be possible, in which women could spend their own time exclusively with other women, in which love stories began and new projects were set. The documentary contains the wonderful archive footage unreleased until today, shot inside the bar and interviews to the women who contributed to make of Zanzibar a concrete project.

Ghost (Natasha Poly: Multiple Exposure)

2009 • 3 min

Set against a stark, monochromatic background with a hairless Poly as the centerpiece, the video gives you an unsettling feeling that something disturbing is stirring beneath her initial placidity. Poly then takes us through a range of emotions of what can only be described as a carthartic episode before ending on the same unnerving note it began with. Brambilla composes the video brilliantly, creating mesh-like layers of Poly’s face that scatter and converge as he explores the idea of mulitplicity within the human psyche.
