- The diary of an exploration in the private places of 8 protagonists of world architecture: Shigeru Ban, Mario Bellini, David Chipperfield, Massimiliano Fuksas, Zaha Hadid, Marcio Kogan, Daniel Libeskind and Studio Mumbai.
- The film shows the RPBW method: what happens in the workshops in Punta Nave in Genoa, in Paris, in the building sites, in the business meetings in the studio and in the discussions with consultants and customers.
- Openings explores the world of the architectural elements that "embody" the concept of threshold, of openness, and of the relationship between inside and outside, through the voices of Italian and international architects, but also by listening to the voices who speak the language of music, sports, art, and the territory. Addressing the theme of the threshold in immaterial, almost "spiritual" terms, the film investigates the close relationship between art and life, between necessity and creative effort, between philosophy and civil thought. Along the Via Emilia, the geographical threshold par excellence, this journey is made of stops, crossings and wandering s. The guides include Davide Cassani (Italian national cycling team coach), Guido Guidi (photographer), Fiorenzo Valbonesi and Simone Sfriso (architects), Andrea Stella (founder of Lo Spirito Di Stella), and Rossella Miccio (President of Emergency), as well as Raoul Casadei, the king of ballroom dancing, the histrionic man who made Romagna a real "state of mind", and Álvaro Siza, one of the great masters of contemporary architecture.
- SuperDesign is a film about 19 players of the Italian Radical Movement. Through their words and their stories, we retrace the history and the heritage of the movement. They take us back to that time when everything seemed possible. We encountered Emilio Ambasz, Franco Audrito, Dario Bartolini, Lapo Binazzi, Andrea Branzi, Germano Celant, Gilberto Coretti, Pietro Derossi, Piero Gilardi, Ugo La Pietra, Roberta Meloni, Alessandro Mendini, Adolfo Natalini, Gaetano Pesce, Gianni Pettena, Franco Raggi, Charlie Stendig, Cristiano Toraldo di Francia, Jim Walrod. The mid-1960s represented a revolutionary time when the need for change has spread everywhere in the Western world and has pervaded all the aspects of life. Some beautiful archival historical images recreate the atmosphere of the period. It was a time of 'positive turbulence' also on an artistic level. And even today we can definitely catch a glimpse of this radical virus in our interviewees. The movement took its steps in Italy - in the 1960s crossed by a wave of political violence, bombings and terrorism, but at the same time, an excitingly creative place: because of the energy of its industrialists and the ability and the creativity of its designers, Italy started becoming a global focus for design. Looking at the works of these architects, designers and curators, walking with them through their cities alleys, listening to their revolutionary ideals, we find that the dreams, the utopias, the ideologies and the passion which have permeated their experience and their art are still alive nowadays. Listening to our protagonists' stories, our question is: What is left today, what is the Radical Movement's heritage, in a historical period in which the speed of cultural change have resulted not only in generalized conformity but also in a loss of values and in the rise of populist parties nationalist movements?
- This new film delves into the archive of the Renzo Piano Foundation and the Studio. Drafts, sketches, models, renderings, drawings all housed in 3000sqm of a converted factory in Genoa, which reflects the identity of the Architect and his way of thinking and working. A place of experimentation, the RPBW archive is a metaphor for a sea-port; where goods come and go, each enriching its content and potential communication.
