The Best of Youth
Mary Forever
Marco Risi
Michele Placido, Claudio Amendola
A teacher discovers his calling. Marco relocates to Palermo from Milan and takes a job teaching in a reform school while he waits for a high school position. He tries to understand and motivate his handful of students, reading them colloquial poetry, encouraging them to stand up for their rights, finding out about their histories. Natale, in for murder, enamoured of the Mafia, the King Rat within the group; Mery, a drag queen, arrested for assault when defending himself, in love with Mario and, in daylight, rejected by all; Pietro, illiterate, muscular, believing his destiny is set; the callow Claudio, vulnerable, learning to harden himself. What can Mario learn and do in such a short time?

Pasolini, un delitto italiano
Marco Tullio Giordana
Carlo DeFilippi, Nicoletta Braschi
November 2, 1975: Pier Paolo Pasolini is grievously murdered in the outskirts of Rome. Charged with murder, 17-year-old hustler Pino Pelosi pleads to have acted in self-defense, citing Pasolini's notorious sexual abits as proof. However, many inconsistencies start to undermine his version of events, pointing to him not having acted alone or even being assaulted in the first place. Was Pasolini also murdered for another reason?
Who Killed Pasolini?
