		Blood, by Francesca Fini 2011, 5’26’’ BLOOD is a reflection over my creative process as an artist. When I think about it I feel like some sort of serial killer, struggling with my own ghosts in front and behind the symbolic space of video-making; a transparent screen that become some sort of prison, where I murder my-self over and over again.
		Eyes red, by Antonello Novellino & Francisco Cuellar 2011, 7’10’’ Every little act make the history of a place. The fly of red ball see us in the various phases of Alcantara's story.
		Huzzah, by Raffaele De Martino 2011, 3’40’’ Huzzah – frequencies. Experimental video and sound on music. Blunted beats and pulses from a continuous flow rate, sounds and voices. Slow speed of being on the road, moving, long distance means fast. Slow to arrive, the journey and the creatures of light, the pastimes, make the impression of my soul. This video was created within the project Buckra - experimental short videos.
		Pagan Inner, by Alessandro Amaducci 2011, 6’20’’ A dance macabre celebrating the risk of life. Nothing more than the idea of the final limit makes ourselves conscious that we are living creatures. The “dance of the skeleton” is a very ancient image connected with the strong relationship between the concepts of life and death. The “dance macabre”, a woman dancing with a skeleton, is an archetypical image that goes more deep, figuring the fact that life itself is a constant duet with the death. By a romantic-gothic point of view, there’s nothing so macabre, it’s only a matter of awareness.
		Rgb, by Mario Raoli 2011, 6’30’’ Dawn on New York City that awakens in a normal day, the rhythm and the colours blur some strange omen. After dark threatening clouds begin to thicken and the war that seems far away comes to town. The earth trembles, shakes the statue, the war becomes all things: the present and future, remembrance and memories. War invades all becoming the only possible reality.
		Ins(h)ide, by Francesca Leoni 2011, 3’10’’ The inner self inside each one of us, hides emotions and contrasts that don't appear in the outside surface. If we could see whats inside of each one of us, we could see the opposties fighting with each other: the feminine and the masculine, the stiffness and the energy, the left and the right and so on.
		Making sense, by Elena Decorato 2011, 1’15’’ This is me with my anxiety. A constant struggle between two parts of me. One of the two dies each time, the conflict creates pain.
		Diecidecimi, by Alessandro De Vita 2011, 2’45’’ We yeld the faculty to look at just one thing at time. No time-wasters. Its necessary. Just if something that be worth to use this word is remain. Necessity. Diecidecimi is an eyes' yoke. Of when the eyesight pull a fast one on you, and make you really see something. Even you don't want. Even you can't. Jail of maximum insecurity for you. Gauantanamo across. Farewell. Like to trascend alive.
