Fiume o morte! Fiume o morte!
Citizens of the Croatian town of Rijeka (Fiume) retell, reconstruct and reinterpret a ludicrous story of the 16-month occupation of their city that happened in 1919 when Gabriele D’Annunzio, the poet, dandy, and preacher of war, proclaimed it a Regency of his own. European Film Award for Best European Documentary.

Father Mother Sister Brother is a triptych: three stories about the relationships between adult children and their somewhat distant parents. A series of character studies, quiet, observational, and non-judgmental—a comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy. Or, in the words of its American indie auteur, “a kind of anti-action film”. Golden Lion Winner at the last Venice Film Festival.
