AUGUSTINE CONFESSIONS
Col. 5 min, HD - Australia 2010-2011

What is time? Has it always existed? If so, there would be no reason to talk about it; But if it hasn't, then what happened before it? Could something have existed before time? Wouldn't it then be in time?

BEING FREE IN IceLAND
Col. 22 min, DV PAL - Iceland, Denmark, Italy 2004-2005

DOCUMENTARY
Follow our new heros in this surreal adventure, through the wild lands and the unfair nature. Be a fan of their several missions, like searching for Noi Albinoi set; getting to North Cape in 5 different ways; looking for Bjørk; but most importantly: trying to visit a fuc*ing church. In this video-music diary, Sergio and Giovanni explore the wild country of Iceland after getting a round ticket for free. During this trip they will discover why such an expensive company such as 'Icelandair' sold them a ZERO krona ticket...
