A short satirical fiction film, originally made for the Sci-Fi London 48h film challenge. In 2044, Earth has been polluted to such an extent that humanity subsists on a diet of ‘Manna-Moolah’, a white, tasteless substance made with minerals mined on asteroid MSG100 by the omnipotent RON corporation. Its former chief chemist, Professor Markus Pokus developed Manna-Moolah with the hope of saving humanity from starvation. Instead, Ai took over and altered the chemistry so that it now renders humans numb and docile. To ensure total dominance on society, The RON corporation has wiped all culinary knowledge from the internet and destroyed all cookery books. Against it, Victor Kenstein, Professor Pokus’ former pupil, has been leading the Camden Underground, a resistance group charged with collecting seeds and food recipes to save onboard “the Ark”, a spaceship disguised as a restaurant, concealed inside a hotel built in the heart of Kings Cross. The time has come for the Ark to fulfil its true purpose and save humanity remaining culinary knowledge, as the wanton resource extraction from MSG100 has been so efficient that the asteroid has lost its centre of gravity and is now hurtling towards Earth. With 5 hours before the asteroid impact, Victor has tracked down his former mentor in a desperate bid to get him onboard and leave Earth before it’s too late.

Running the mile race in under four minutes has long been a benchmark for the distance. The significant runners and races from the early 1920s to the first sub-four-minute mile and beyond are presented. In the early 1920s, Finn Paavo Nurmi was the preeminent racer, who revolutionized the strategy to run the distance most effectively, clocking a then world record time of 4:10.4 in 1924. In 1931, the post-Nurmi era saw Frenchman Jules Ladoumègue first break Nurmi's long-standing world record at 4:09.2, which rekindled the pursuit of the four-minute barrier. Races designed to break the world record were held, one such seeing Brit Sidney Wooderson break the record in a specially devised handicapped race with pacers. The four-minute barrier was finally broken by Aussie John Landy in a race in Finland in 1954 with a time of 3:58. In what was considered the greatest mile race up until then at the 1954 Empire Games in Vancouver, Landy and Brit Roger Bannister ran the first ever mile race with two men under the four-minute barrier, Bannister on top. And finally in a race in Los Angeles in 1956, Joe Bailey ran probably the fastest lap ever in a mile race to that time to win in the first ever sub-four-minute mile run in the United States.

A tenor, in suit and tie, with a receding hairline, sings a ballad to his love, "Your face is like a song," to simple piano accompaniment. As he sings about his love's face, his own face goes through phantasmagoric changes, beginning with his warbling mouth moving about. As the singing continues, his face twists, turns, explodes, liquefies, becomes block-shaped, multiples, curls, disappears in sections and all at once, and always reconfigures itself serenely into its original shape. As the song ends, the camera pans back revealing the man sitting in a chair on the green field of mother earth. She may have a face and designs of her own.

"Chasing Memories" goes beyond showcasing the restoration of classic cars; it's a show where we meticulously recreate the cherished memories of yesteryear while the car itself is being restored. Through carefully curated storytelling and immersive experiences, we transport viewers back in time, reliving the moments and emotions that made these cars special in the first place. As wrenches turn and engines roar to life, each episode becomes a journey through time, where the past is seamlessly interwoven with the present restoration process. Whether it's recreating a family road trip, revisiting a first date, or capturing the thrill of a cross-country adventure, "Chasing Memories" transforms the restoration garage into a portal to the past. By immersing ourselves in these nostalgic moments, we not only breathe new life into classic cars but also into the treasured memories they hold. Join us on this heartfelt journey as we revitalize both automobiles and the timeless stories that accompany them, one memory at a time.

Mater Procida is a poetic journey driven by some Lena Loffredo’s poems. She is a primary school teacher in her eighties, who educated many generations of Procidans. The story of her life crosses with other women’s stories on the island. Such as Maria, known as Procida’s fisherwoman; Chiara who cultivates her land in the heart of Cottimo, the island’s inner part; Maddalena, uardian of the traditional Procidan art of the golden leaf placement, that makes unique the typical local costumes and Maria, her over ninety-years-old mother who has been working strand of raffia since she was a young girl, to make artesan baskets and fans which were sold all over the world. These women’s stories take the island to a dimension where nostalgy and loneliness melt with natural elements which make unique Procida, with its enveloping dawns and sunsets to enhance the wonderful colours of Corricella houses and the breath of the Chiaiolella sea.
