ARRIVEDERCI SAIGON. Biennale del Cinema di Venezia 2018

Posted on by cinedetour

They are very young and come from all over the industrial districts of Tuscany, so different from the famous hills of Chianti: the steelworks of Piombino, the port of Livorno and the Piaggio factories in Pontedera. It is the red province of “houses of the people” and the Italian Communist Party. Getting away from this region is a dream for them, but this is 1968 and everything is possible! They receive an offer they can’t turn down, a tour in the Far East: Manila, Hong Kong, Singapore. Armed with musical instruments and a desire to sing, they set off hoping for success but find themselves in the middle of a war, and the war is the real one of Vietnam. Fifty years later Le Stars tell the story of their adventure amongst American soldiers, remote jungle bases and soul music.

ESCAPING THE TEMPLE > LUCI DALLA CINA Chinese Independent Documentary Festival

Posted on by cinedetour

Escaping the Temple tells the intensely personal intertwined stories of three sensitive, individualistic and rebellious modern dancers each reaching a crossroads in their lives. They must all resolve their issues to move forward. Escaping the Temple shows a China not well known to the West, a new vision where ancient beliefs and culture collide with the moral and spiritual vacuum of modern-day capitalism. We show a generation who have turned their back on politics and social change and search for new directions.

¡YALLAH! ¡YALLAH!

Posted on by cinedetour

In Arabic, “Yallah!” could be translated to “let’s go”, an encouragement to go further, to keep going. In a crowded cafe of Qalandia refugee camp, during a football match, one “Yallah!” echos another: excitement, passion, frustration sometimes. “Yallah! Yallah!” is Mohammed’s journey toward the realization of his dream.  The movie is also a journey through Palestine.
