- Features Italian artist Luigi Lineri and his art "The Quest", which he has been working on for the past 60 years, a unique installation composed of tens of thousands of stones resembling primitive flint tools and symbolic sculptures.
- Albanian Cinema Paradiso explores the Albanian cinema of the 1950-1990s that had played a significant role in forming the collective historical memory of those who watched it. Gllava's film shines a light on the heritage, hidden meanings and visual beauty of the Albanian cinema of the 1950-1990s, this mysterious and largely unknown subject from Albania's Communist regime, one of the most securely closed-off regimes in Eastern Europe, comparable only to today's North Korea. What we are looking at in Albanian Cinema Paradiso by Elton Gllava is the dreams and hopes of the Albanians through films from that era in the context of the significant influence from the Soviet propaganda machine and the classic tradition of the European and especially Italian and French cinema.
- By now, we all know what 'lockdown' means. But in March 2020, Italians were the first to experience a nationwide mandatory quarantine, of a mysterious disease we were sure at the time could kill us all. For Italians to shut into a home, to lose physical touch with the family, the comunità, the piazza, was devastating in ways we are still trying to understand. Even after COVID-19 spread elsewhere, the first Italian lockdown would prove the harshest, longest, and (I believe) most disorienting in all of Europe and the Americas throughout the pandemic. During these initial horrifying 50 days and nights of lockdown, dreaming became a gift. To dream is to not only escape from confinement - it is to descend a portal into our innermost fears and desires. In the quiet of solitude, this portal became steeper, the churnings inside of us became louder, clearer. What could the dream, this psychic clap of thunder, a vibration from the deep, tell us about ourselves, about our world when we returned?
- The Nostalgia Critic is going to the dogs. Just look what the cat dragged in. Cliched sayings aside, the Critic looks at a family movie about cats and dogs who are undercover spies in a secret battle to stop the felines from global domination in a threadbare story with terrible CGI effects. Time for this film to be de-clawed and neutered.
