    THE TALE OF KING CRAB

    ALESSIO RIGO DE RIGHI, MATTEO ZOPPIS Italy, 2021

    Drawing its idiosyncratic power from the wellsprings of legend, this ecstatic folktale travels from 19th-century Italy to Argentina’s Tierra del Fuego. A primal meditation on the potency of storytelling, The Tale of King Crab is a redemptive fable charged with mythic grandeur and elemental beauty.

    Reminiscent of Joshua Oppenheimer’s The Look of Silence, this celebrated first-person documentary film crucially visualizes essential questions about the human capacity for war. A dark, enthralling investigation into the living history of Liberia’s bloody internal conflict.

    IL SOLENGO

    ALESSIO RIGO DE RIGHI, MATTEO ZOPPIS Italy, 2015

    This unique documentary, shot in the mountains outside Rome, explores the true legend of a local hermit. A probing look at loneliness and eccentricity that is at once beautiful, curious, and revealing. In Il solengo, an unusual subject is portrayed through an inspired form.
