Outside the Box: An Authentic Portrait of Charlemagne Palestine (Italy) by Nicola Pietromarchi

An interview that turns into a confrontation: Charlemagne Palestine, experimental musician and unconventional artist, resists every label. In the scorching heat of the Tuscan summer, a sincere and unfiltered portrait of a provocative mind emerges, essentially faithful to its own consistency and identity. An authentic encounter with an uncompromising spirit.

A Man Imagined (Canada) by Melanie Shatzky, Brian M. Cassidy

Pushing at the limits of non-fiction cinema, A Man Imagined is a bracingly intimate and hallucinatory portrait of a man with schizophrenia surviving amidst urban detritus and decay. Made in close collaboration with 67-year-old Lloyd, this immersive documentary fable follows the jagged path of a decades-long street survivor, across harsh winters and blistering summers, as he sells discarded items to motorists, sleeps in junkyards and lapses into near-psychedelic reveries.

Running time: 01:02:00
