I can quit whenever I want

Pietro Zinni is thirty-seven, a researcher and a genius. However this does not spare him from being dismissed following new cuts to university funds.
What can a nerd like him, who spent his life studying, do to survive? His plan is deceivingly simple: assemble a criminal gang like never seen before. He recruits the finest of his ex-colleagues, all outcasts despite their expertise, now gas men, dish-washers or poker gamblers.

Macroeconomics, Neurobiology, Anthropology, Literature and Archaeology will turn out to be perfect for moving up the criminal ladder. Their success is fast and explosive, they start to gather money, power, women and success. The problem will be keeping things together…

Screenplay by Valerio Attanasio, Andra Garello and Sydney Sibilia

The ice forest

This film tells the story of an incredible mystery that takes place in an apparently peaceful town in the alps.
With an impeding snowstorm threatening in the background, Pietro, a young specialized technician, arrives in the valley to repair a problem at the high altitude hydroelectric plant and finds himself suddenly dealing with a strange disappearance. This causes a clash between him and two brothers, Lorenzo and Secondo who live and work in the area.

When Pietro figures out the hidden secrets at the heart of the valley, tensions explode and a game of warped mirrors begins from which no one is immune to suspicion, not even Lana the zoologist, expert in bears.

Screenplay by Francesca Manieri, Elisa Amoruso, Claudio Noce

Uncle Gianni

Gianni is 50 and suddenly unemployed, single, even homeless.
While he puts his life back together – or at least tries to! – the only thing he can do is live with three students who are barely in their twenties. Too bad that they reveal themselves to be the worst influence he could have met.

Zio Gianni starts from the joined efforts of Sydney Sibilia, director of the movie “I Can Quit Whenever I Want”, and The Pills.

FORMAT: 27X7′

Journey of the Angel

Sergio and Vladimir go on a journey together to the locations where the wars in the Balkan states took place in order to visit the places where, 15 years ago, two peoples who had cohabited peacefully until then, suddenly found themselves on opposing sides.

Il viaggio dell’angelo, directed by Sergio Leszczynski and produced by Ascent Film in collaboration with Raicinema and the German production company ZDF, presents itself as a ‘road-documentary’, somewhere between reportage and a traditional documentary. It is an individual and collective journey inside the conscience and spirituality. A tale of friendship and the love of life told over the notes of ‘Balkan rock” that beats the rhythm of youths taking their future into their own hands through actions.

Shooting of the documentary Il viaggio dell’angelo began in former Yugoslavia.

Return Ticket

Famous personalities recount one of their trips in front of the Nat Geo Adventure cameras (channel 410 di Sky). Good, bad, unusual experiences marked by thrills or normality, stories of personal and shared life experiences.

The protagonists of the ten brief interviews are Carlo Verdone, Niccolò Fabi, Adriano Giannini, Margherita Buy, Vinicio Marchioni, Silvio Orlando, Paola Turci, Lillo, Sandro Veronesi and Valentina Correani.
Some of them ran the risk of burning to death in the Sahara, others tell of how they returned changed people after each trip, and others returned and were never the same.

Other Music

From the workshop held by Claudio Noce with the support of Ascent Film and Rai Cinema, and the students from the Istituto Comprensivo Via Guicciardini – Plesso Bonghi in Rome, one of the most surprising and successful cinematic experiences in 2012 took shape: Altra Musica.

After school, Mirko, a 13-year-old boy, is forced to spend the day with his father, a musician, with whom he doesn’t have a very close relationship. He steals his father’s precious guitar forcing them together in order to find it that will mark the turning point of their relationship.
