• My Voyage To Italy, 246'

  A subjective review of works of Italian cinematography which influenced Martin Scorsese most. The director pays homage to his great compatriots: Rossellini, De Sica, Fellini, Visconti, and Antonioni (whose retrospective was presented at last year's Top League). “Roma, città aperta” (“Rome, Open City”), “Germania anno zero” (“Germany Year Zero”), “L'Eclisse” (“The Eclipse”), “8 ½,” and "L'Oro di Napoli” (“The Gold of Naples”) are just some of the pictures in question. Shot in traditional 35-mm format, the film is a collage of different genres: old newsreels, “home” videos, and, last but not least, the masterpieces of Italian cinema. This long film, over four hours in running time, is watched with excitement throughout, and that is thanks to the interesting, personal, and amusing commentary by Scorsese.

• Lady By The Sea: The Statue of Liberty, 55'

  A documentary film produced for the History Channel. The director goes back in time and analyses the influence that the Statue of Liberty has had on New Yorkers. He inspects what role it played in their lives after the tragedy of 9/11. Everything here seems to revolve around “Her” – the mysterious and majestic figure. With the passing of minutes, however, we realise that “She” and part of the history investigated by Martin Scorsese have a lot more to reveal.
