("Say It Loud"), Matteo Garrone's "Pinocchio", Emiliano Corapi's "L'amore a Domicilio" ("Love Under House Arrest"), Alessandro Siani’s "Il Giorno Piu Bello Del Mondo" ("The Most Beautiful Day In The World"), Guido Lombardi's "Il ladro di giorni" ("Stolen Days"), as well as Damiano and Fabio D’Innocenzo's "Favolacce" ("Bad Tales").
