AAMOD - Archivio Audiovisivo del Movimento Operaio e Democratico

Volonté, the militant. How many people know this singular and important aspect of the great Milanese actor's life? "Forgotten Activism" attempts to reconstruct a particular profile of the actor Gian Maria Volonté, the one concerning his political commitment, an aspect that is often neglected and ignored. A life spent on acting, but at the same time on politics, with the fixed idea of always wanting to change things and have his say, denouncing the abuses of power - as in the case of the anarchist Pinelli - and social inequalities. A character that can be defined to all intents and purposes as a fighter, a 'revolutionary in an actor's uniform', who exposed himself without trying to mediate his positions, sometimes extreme and as a true outsider.

Italy, 1974: citizens are called upon to repeal or confirm the law on divorce.

A collective archive film, made with the contribution of unpublished images from some of the main archives of different territorial origins, between Lazio, Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy and Emilia Romagna. A journey through time and space: through small cameras, partisans, soldiers, priests and "ordinary citizens" felt the need to document for future memory - and, in some cases, at their own risk - History "as it happens", but also the long waits and daily life that intersect with the events of the two-year period 1943-45. And then the Liberation: the arrival of the Allies, the joy, the dances and finally it's time to get married.

After many years, the hitman has the opportunity to see Marco, his best friend, again. This time, however, he has orders to kill him. He hasn't seen him since the years of Italian liberation, but it seems as if they have always been together. They are two sides of the same nation, one looking to the future, the other to the past. But the past re-emerges from the shadows, determined to drag the future with it.

A documentary on Rome from the late 19th century to the early third millennium (made almost entirely from archival and found footage)

The ringing of a telephone breaks through the night, connecting two distant cities. At the ends of the line, two lovers share dreams, confide their fragilities, reveal fears and secrets, crafting a tale of desire and passion that takes shape in a visual, lyrical, and hypnotic poem.

May 15, 1948, is the date of the founding of the State of Israel on more than half of the territory of historic Palestine, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. But for Palestinians, that day means NAKBA - catastrophe: the forced expulsion, through the use of violence and weapons, of over 800,000 people, the destruction of 600 villages and homes in the cities of Haifa, Jaffa, and others. This film aims to commemorate this date and the ongoing Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territories, which continues to this day. All this in disregard of the plan to partition Palestine into two states, one Arab and one Jewish, voted by the United Nations in 1947. A great injustice that has now lasted for 72 years.

“Words are the only instruments I have”, says Aslı Erdoğan in this powerful audiovisual collage. The writer, physicist and human rights activist who lives in exile in Berlin writes against the disappearance and loss of her own language. As a former political prisoner in Turkey, she knows only too well what autocratic violence and oppression intend: to silence people.
