  • Sweetblood

    “‘Sweetblood’’s chief elements include a flurry of family photos, a collage of Italian immigrant voices and a bottle of red. Expertly made, this memoir is Steve Sanguedolce’s hymn to his family, and his own secret history of the seventies.” – Toronto Festival of Festivals “Perhaps the most evocative short film in the program is Steve Sanguedolce’s ‘Sweetblood,’ which examines the strained relationship between the filmmaker and his emotionally detached father. A collage of family photographs and cryptic subtitles fills the screen while the voices of his family and his personal thoughts are heard. An emotionally stirring film in which the…

  • Tabu V (about which one cannot speak)

    About which one cannot speak … I gotta breathe heavily, have to yawn. I’m afraid of the operation, of what I’m experiencing. I only hope I live. A God, belief in a God could help me now. Lord Almighty! It’s not as ironic as it sounds.

  • Tales from the Vienna Woods

    “Tales from the Vienna Woods” looks at a 19th-century romance through the courtship letters of a suitor. He writes of the role of women, money, clothes, shoes, keys, marriage – in short, all the preoccupations of his life. Among these, what is normal is debatable, not only for today’s society, but also for the society of the period. Through found images and period photographs, the setting shifts from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the 20th century, ending with Hitler’s Germany. This is a collage film which combines slide projections and live footage against musical variations on a famous Viennese waltz.
