Travel From St. Petersburg to Moscow: a Special Path
In 1790, Alexander Radishchev published the book "Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow", in which he fearlessly exposed the vices of his time: despotism, corruption, poverty and disenfranchisement of the people. For his free-thinking, the writer was sentenced to death, which, by the royal grace, was replaced by a 10-year exile to Siberia.
The film crew decided to repeat Radishchev's route and see how people live today on the side of the federal highway M10 "Russia" connecting the two capitals. How has Russian life changed over the past two hundred years? Have we started to live better? Richer? Freer?

Frank Zappa - Summer '82: When Zappa Came to Sicily
In the feature documentary, Summer 82 - When Zappa Came to Sicily, filmmaker and Zappa fan Salvo Cuccia tells the behind-the-scenes story of Frank Zappa's star-crossed concert in Palermo, Sicily, the wrap-up to a European tour that ended in public disturbances and police intervention. Cuccia had a ticket to the concert but never made it. Thirty years later, collaborating with Zappa's family, he re-creates the events through a combination of rare concert and backstage footage; photographs; anecdotes from family, band members, and concertgoers; and insights from Zappa biographer and friend Massimo Bassoli. The story is also a personal one, as Cuccia interweaves the story of Zappa's trip to Sicily with his own memories from that summer.
