- Santoro- The Man and His Music (75 ', color and B & W, shot in Full HD, Brazil, 2016) is a documentary about one of the most important composers and conductors of the XX century in the world, CLAUDIO SANTORO (1919-1989). After winning several awards in Brazil in 1946, Santoro received a Guggenheim Foundation scholarship to spend a year in the United States to study or work at will. The Foundation also offers to disseminate and distribute his work internationally. However, US authorities refused him entry visa to the United States in that it was considered a communist by the Brazilian intelligence services. Throughout a period of fifty years, Santoro composed over 600 works, many of which are produced during his stay in France, the United Kingdom, in the former USSR, Bulgaria and Germany, where he lives in exile between 1969 and 1977. Many important composers like Aaron Copland, Igor Stravinsky, Pierre Boulez and Aram Khachaturian are among his countless friends and admirers. Twelve-tone, nationalist, abstract, folk, and electronic music, stochastic... Santoro, together with perhaps Igor Stravinsky is one of the most eclectic composers in the world. In the documentary - whose musical director is Santoro' son - also a pianist and conductor, like his father - we chose to show some of the most important pieces for each phase. For three and a half years, we worked together with four orchestras and two chamber orchestras, as well as with musicians in solo, duo, trio, etc. formations. Testimonies of musicians, conductors, musicologists, former colleagues and his family were also collected.
- The scrapbook of most teenagers shows family members and friends at a picnic, at the high school basketball game, at Disneyland. Morris Bird III's, however, paints a different picture. This happy-go-lucky, all-American kid whose only wish in life is to get laid by his cute, but hesitant girlfriend suddenly faces terminal cancer, bringing painful and difficult issues to the surface. Picture an alcoholic father, played by Michael Moriarty, whose devotion to the bottle and mastery of self-pity keeps him from communicating with his son and daughter. Picture a teenage boy whose English teacher encourages him to write; he's eloquent, full of passion for life, and is the type of free-spirit who goes against the grain, walking up on the wrong side of the escalator. Picture a best friend, played by Ben Savage, who may not be the most mature person in the world, but his support makes up for that. Then there's a sister who nurses the wounds felt from living in a fractured family. Now try to imagine a mother who died when Morris was five; her picture is missing and the only way to get a complete sense of her is through the alcoholic father. In a moving, honest scene at the end, Morris Bird II gives Morris Bird III the truth and then some. He offers his love and desire to have a relationship with his son, giving this young man completion before he succumbs to his tragic fate.
