Do you remember this movie ?

1978 • 4 min • Italy
An intensely lyrical sequence. A movie in the video to create a tunnel through memory. An alphabet pronounced by a sweet voice in which every letter corresponds to a word whose emotional suggestiveness creates associations with childhood, its ancestral significance, its dreams, its magic, its mistery, its nonsense.
Composizione Per Sequenze E Frequenze

Composizione Per Sequenze E Frequenze

1978 • 6 min
Structural film conceived as an architectural construction where compositional rigor slows down and incorporates a Dionysian feeling of existence, wants to represent through almost physical blocks of frames a feeling of horror for the violence that pervades the contemporary world: lifeless bodies abandoned in cars lost in the bush, the advance of a marching army, a face that deforms into an expressionist scream, other faces, alternation of positive and negative frames: visual leitmotifs that recur obsessively.

Il mare ci ha chiamate

1978 • 18 min
“Fight, politics, fantasy, madness, expression. I made this film, detached moments, connected in my psyche: poetry intervention in the Gaiola style, my love for the sea, for women, for the Nemesiache, for beauty. I dream in insomnia of a reality that deforms beauty... I dig, I penetrate with my eyes through prohibitions and disfigurements in my expropriated territory. I play with the sadness of a fragility determined by infinite mobile interests: spaces for me, spaces for others." L.M.

Let George Do It

Let George Do It

1978 • 10 min • United States of America
The film conversation centers around workplace safety and the concept of personal responsibility. Ron and Mary discuss Ron's recent vacation and then transition to a review of recent workplace accidents. These incidents include an electrician falling due to a missing safety cone, a worker getting a shock from faulty equipment, and a drill press operator injuring his finger due to an improperly secured backup bar. They identify a common issue: the "let George do it" syndrome, where employees assume someone else will handle safety checks. They emphasize the importance of personal responsibility in safety practices and propose using these cases in training programs to illustrate the need for vigilance and proactive safety measures. The conversation ends with a story from Ron about a past mistake, highlighting the critical lesson of not taking safety for granted and ensuring one's own and others' safety by not relying on others to always handle safety checks.
