- FETINE is a Muslim woman from Cyprus who was forced to marry a Palestinian at age of 14, in 1936 and leave her home to Palestine, never to be seen again. FETINE shared the same fate a large number of young women in Cyprus had during the British Colonial Period at a time where many families were living in extreme poverty (between the 1920's-1950'). Many of these young women were never seen again by their families and never returned to Cyprus. After several decades this issue has only recently been brought to light raising many questions namely why so many were never sought after and if indeed the marriage was a sale? Pembe Mentesh, an Australian-born Cypriot, upon moving to Cyprus, decides to break the decades long silence regarding FETINE's marriage and begins an investigation to locate her. Pembe's work in human rights and activism ignites her need to search for her great aunt and she travels throughout Cyprus and the Middle East to find out why this chapter of Cypriot history remained in the dark for so long and what actually happened to Missing FETINE.
- Fango Rosso (red mud), is the toxic waste of the mining extraction. It covers up the hills of Sulcis, a land where the astonishing beauty of the landscape collides with a history of betrayed promises, progress as a mirage, politics as deceit. Damiano and Mattia spend their afternoons in the shade of the mine ruins. They are a little past thirty, but the hair raised by the wind makes them look like teenagers. They climb on precarious walls, they hide on dark ravines, they light their torches looking for something we do not know. Free, as two adventurers of a sleepy land. At the end of the evening they sit and light a cigarette, before the night falls beyond the smoke-stacks by the sea shore. Red Mud is an intimate journey among the ruins of the industrial colonization, whence a desolate landscape and a new and extravagant beauty seem to emerge.
