Incontri stellari

In un piccolo paese del New Mexico due bambini e un anziano cercatore d'oro vedono atterrare un'astonave e una volta arrivati sul luogo dell'impatto hanno un incontro con gli extraterrestri. Nessuno però sembra disposto a credere alla loro avventura e loro passano molto tempo nell'ansiosa attesa di rivedere gli alieni. Venticinque anni dopo, i ragazzi sono ancora amici e non hanno dimenticato. Quando il loro villaggio natale viene sconvolto da un'ondata di strani avvenimenti, il passato torna a chiedere il conto...

Scipione l'africano

Dopo la sconfitta di Canne Publio Cornelio Scipione, divenuto proconsole di Sicilia, organizza una spedizione contro Cartagine. Di vittoria in vittoria il condottiero arriva presto vicino alla città nemica. Annibale allora, che si trovava ancora con il suo esercito in Italia, viene richiamato d'urgenza per difendere la propria patria. Dopo un incontro tra i due grandi capi, nel quale non si riesce a trovare un accordo, l'esercito romano si scontra nella pianura di Zama con quello cartaginese. La vittoria delle aquile repubblicane è completa e significa, oltre alla fine del dominio mediterraneo di Cartagine, anche l'inizio dell'Impero mondiale di Roma. Scipione, da quel momento chiamato "l'Africano", torna a Roma e ottiene il trionfo. Fa il suo esordio, come comparsa, l'allora diciassettenne Alberto Sordi.

Launder Run

Launder Run tells the story of Jake, a man returning to his gritty hometown after years away, carrying the weight of a troubled past. The film opens on a rainy Saturday afternoon as Jake trudges through a bleak estate, visibly exhausted and clutching a plastic bag. Arriving at his sister Sue’s chaotic, unkempt flat, he confronts the ruins of his old life—a dirty fridge, a cluttered bedroom reduced to storage, and the ghosts of a once-close family. Seeking solace, he revisits his old pub, a place teeming with memories. As he steps inside, the bartender recognizes him with shock, hinting at Jake’s mysterious past and the reasons for his long absence. “Lounder Run” explores themes of homecoming, redemption, and the unshakable grip of one’s origins.
