FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
IFTA AWARDS 2024

“Luto” marks the feature debut of acclaimed director Andres Arochi. The film is a powerhouse visual and spiritual odyssey that fuses drama and documentary in a spellbinding journey that explores grief, life and everything in between. It's a surreal and magical film that pulls back the veil of contemporary Mexico to reveal the inescapable ancient rituals of death ingrained in the culture. “Luto” was shot entirely in Mexico, and the crew traversed over 14000 km like pilgrims setting off into the unknown.

Luto
In a desperate attempt to overcome the grief caused by his girlfriend’s passing, Damian sets off on a journey across Mexico. Haunted by memories and regrets, he finds solace through conversations with strangers, witnessing the rituals they participate in to cope with death.

"Stefano Ottaviano directs a marvellously cinematic road trip promo for DJ Shadow, filmed in Uzbekistan.

The video for Ozone Scraper - the first release from Shadow's latest album - is the story of a man who commits to leaving his home village and explore the land beyond his valley - on the cherished motorcycle, passed down from his father.

The bike is old and temperamental, making the journey anything but straightforward, but as he traverses unfamiliar terrain, it all becomes worth it in the end. Ultimately the traveller reaches a state of nirvana, represented by an unforeseen change to another medium.

Up to that point, every frame composed by Ottaviano and shot by DoP Andres Arochi is stunning. Boasting breathtaking landscapes and a quietly inspirational character arc, this is a wonderful video which feels like a true adventure - in the spirit of DJ Shadow's new musical direction."

April 16, 1945. The end of the War is approaching, but the small partisan outpost located near the enemy line has to overcome their last major obstacle; resist the surprise attack of 450 SS soldiers.

"The Wind Whistles" is an animated documentary written & directed by ALESSANDRO DORDONI, based on the memoirs of 20-year-old Italian partisan Lino Dordoni. The Wind Whistles traces the events that occurred during The Battle of Monticello, Northern Italy, on April 16th, 1945, when 450 SS soldiers executed a surprise attack at dawn against roughly 25 Partisan resistance fighters located inside the castle of Monticello. Stationed in an abandoned stable nearby and suddenly awoken by the echo of the battle raging at the castle, Lino and his squad set out on a journey to aid their comrades as fast as they can.
