“TORNO SUBITO” is our movie. It is the world’s first free movie on the web in HD! To watch it you don’t need to take your car, look for a park and neither get any ticket.

We are not a production company. We are not an association.
We are only a group of people working in cinema industry who have got only one purpose in life: demostrate that is possible make a movie not being “sons of…” or “f**king with…”
We succeded in it? We can’t say it: what do you think? Watch our movie and contac tus!

For us, making a movie is like playing in a team. And the tim who win isnt’ that one made by champions, maybe talented but selfish. The winning team is that one in which really exist the team… where everyone respect his role and the other ones… where the champions give and hand to the newbies… where the score is most important than doing acrobatics… where the team playing believing that with a lot of willing and some good luck, the results will come.
None of us was believing that we will succeed in shooting this movie when we met for the first time. It was a cold afternoon of December. Thanks to the social networks we find ourself. And it happened. We made a movie. We imagined it. We shot it. We edited it. And we distributed it in Italy, reaching about 1 million spectators in three months. Now we want to take our movie abroad. And we want to do it with the help of everyone who knows how to use the web and want to help us.
The film has been shot in high definition. This format permit to print our movie on film and proiect it in cinemas without losing details.

Our feature film cost: nothing
None of us perceived any retribution for this movie. We don't asked for any loan or any financing. Everyone shared what he have to share. Someone put the camera, someother the microphone, some people their experience and some their stomach-ache.

This movie had a low impact on the enviroment. We used flash memories, rewritable infinite times, insthead the normal tapes. Every object you see in the movie has been taken from our garrets or in flee markets. The crew has moved using car sharing or using public buses and trains.

A man travelling in a car arrives to an old abandoned country church. His arrival is really a return, almost a voyage through time back to the places where he has spent his childhood. Places he has left to follow a different route through life, but which remain indelibly stamped within his heart. Memories bounce back against the walls of a tower in ruins and are swept by the waves on the shore, silent witnesses to unexpected decisions. (Less)

Memorie di Verduno - Una lunga storia di guerra e d’amore.
Appunti per un documentario.

di Paolo Casalis e Stefano Scarafia

Un piccolo paese delle Langhe, per secoli povero e isolato, si apre al mondo nel suo momento più tragico: la Seconda Guerra Mondiale.
La nostra Storia, raccontata da chi l’ha vissuta in prima persona.

“Mi chiedo come abbiamo fatto a diventare così
vecchi con le vitacce grame che abbiamo fatto da giovani”
Carlo Fava, 91 anni, Verduno

“All’epoca dicevamo di Mussolini: quand’era Re prendevamo il caffè,
adesso che è Imperatore non ne sentiamo più l’odore”
Delfina Songia, 86 anni, Verduno

“La vita è una baracca e noi siamo i burattini che ballano”
Carlo Fava, 91 anni, Verduno

Verduno, la “Sentinella delle Langhe”, è un piccolo paese di collina, poche case e cascine riunite attorno a un campanile.
Oggi rinomata meta turistica per i suoi vini e per la qualità di una vita semplice, a stretto contatto con la terra e con i suoi prodotti, il Paese ha vissuto in passato momenti di estrema povertà e durezza: la guerra, la miseria, l’occupazione tedesca e la guerra partigiana, la fame, la fillossera (un insetto che attacca le radici delle viti europee distruggendo irrimediabilmente interi raccolti).
Sono ricordi di cui non rimangono tracce visibili tra i vigneti ordinati e ben tenuti, le case recentemente restaurate, le osterie e i ristoranti che attraggono turisti da ogni parte.
Ricordi, tradizioni e costumi che sembrano appartenere a epoche lontane, mentre invece sono ancora ben vivi nella memoria degli anziani del paese, i protagonisti di una Storia ancora tutta da raccontare.
Si presenta ai nostri occhi un’occasione unica e non ripetibile: raccogliere le testimonianze di una popolazione anziana tuttora attiva e partecipe della vita del paese: storie, ideali e valori che rischiano di essere dimenticati e che invece sono estremamente attuali.
E’ il momento di ascoltare. (Less)
