For Filmmaker Film Festival (2023), Fulvio Baglivi and Cristina Piccino asked some filmmakers (R. Beckermann, J. Bressane, D’Anolfi/Parenti, T. De Bernardi, L. Di Costanzo, A. Fasulo, F. Ferraro, M. Frammartino, S. George, ghezzi/Gagliardo, C. Hintermann, G. Maderna, A. Momo, A. Rossetto, M. Santini, C. Simon, S. Savona)  to give us their own "lost road," that is, a sequence, scene or piece of editing that did not later find its way into the final version of one of their works.  Each fragment has its own accomplished presence, often has a different title from the film it was made for, which is not necessary to have seen in order to find meaning; on the contrary, those who set out thinking they know the world they are walking through will find themselves displaced.

Strade perdute - Filmmaker 23

A day at the seaside, among fish, swimmers, trains and diving in search of something missing

Fine d'Agosto

"The one hundred tables of "Il Fatto" are part of a project for animated cinema conceived and designed by Tullio Ghiandoni in 1970. The film was born from Tullio's desire to see his drawings 'animated', the reason for this gift he gave me in 2002 and promise finally fulfilled…"

Il Fatto - Cinema d'Animazione

Vaghe stelle is a seven-chaptered film, conceived as a musical album and composed of seven movements, which can be watched singly (like songs), or in the established order (like a record) or also mixing the films creating new combinations or possible narrations.

Three-day diary with Giacomo on the Sibillini mountains, in August 2004

Qualcosa nei Passi e nello Sguardo

Vaghe stelle is a seven-chaptered film, each chapter named after a star of the Plough. This is the third chapter, although the project is conceived as a musical album and composed of seven movements, which can be watched singly (like songs), or in the established order (like a record) or also mixing the films…

Alioth

"It all started with a flea market and "Les rêveries du promeneur solitaire". A night storm and the cat Vadinho did the rest, leading me on the first walk."

Prima passeggiata - Tra le rondini

A sloping path is the journey of the second walk, led by the far lapping of the waves. Rêverie of voyages of winds and mermaids across the seas, wrecks and landfalls.

Seconda passeggiata - La casa in riva al mare

“Vaghe stelle” is a seven-chaptered film, conceived as a musical album and composed of seven movements, which can be watched singly (like songs), or in the established order (like a record) or also mixing the films creating new combinations or possible narrations.

Megrez

Soft steps mark the snow. They follow a blackbird, then find the sea. The third walk gets lost in an echo of childhood games.

Terza passeggiata - Sulla neve

The fourth walk follows the course of a river; then it goes up towards a village, still and solitary, until a breath of wind.

Quarta passeggiata - Un giro di giostra

The voices, faces and bodies of the students of the Liceo Artistico Mengaroni in Pesaro embody the characters of two novels by Cesare Pavese, La bella estate and Il diavolo in collina. Seventy years later, the "beautiful summers" of Ginia and Guido, Amelia and Poli, Oreste, Pieretto, are staged by contemporary bodies who read Pavese's words and discover the closeness of the themes addressed by the author to their own experience, feeling the emotions that the staging of some episodes of the two works arouses in them.
