CONFIDENTIAL REPORT

This section focuses on specific emerging phenomena in international cinema. The range of observation is 360° and each year a new argument is proposed that is particularly up-to-date and central to the collective cinematographic imagery. It could be a nation's film consciousness that reawakens after years of silence, a young international director whose production is still unknown in Italy, a genre that suddenly regains vitality in unexpected fields of production, a linguistic and productive trend, or a true theoretical movement. The chosen "theme" is crucial to contemporary culture and society and, unexpectedly, it can bring together filmmakers, genres and languages that are apparently light years away from each other. Confidential Report is composed of works that have never been projected in Italy before; it mixes fiction and documentaries, feature films, medium-length films and shorts, television and film, research and narration, as each year it offers itself as a sort of "blank book".
In 2009, the section presented the complete works of Nicolas Winding Refn, the Danish filmmaker who started in the mid-90s with Pusher and currently has seven films to his credit, only one of which has been distributed in Italy.
