Domani sabato 17 Gennaio in onda su Al Jazeera English “Ilaria Alpi's Murder”


Domani 17 Gennaio all'interno del programma di approfondimento giornalistico People and Power del canale satellitare Al Jazeera English verrà trasmesso il reportage “Ilaria Alpi's murder” di Emanuele Piano e Alessandro Righi prodotto dalla Oyibo Productions, produzione indipendente italiana di reportage e documentari ( vincitori del premio Ilaria Alpi 2005).

Il reportage parte dal carcere di Biella, dove si trova rinchiuso Hashi Omar Hassan, unico colpevole (per la giustizia italiana) della morte di Ilaria Alpi e Miran Hrovatin, uccisi a Mogadiscio, Somalia, nel 1994. Le immagini ci portano poi indietro di 15 anni e – attraverso il racconto di testimoni degli eventi - ricostruiscono la fitta ragnatela di interessi, dai soldi della cooperazione italo-somala alle armi e ai rifiuti tossici, nella quale la giornalista si è trovata coinvolta e che verosimilmente ne ha determinato l'uccisione.


Al Jazeera English è visibile in Italia sulla piattaforma Sky – canale 522 e online su Yalp tv – http://www.yalp.alice.it/
Il reportage andrà in onda alle 2.30, 13.30 e poi alle 20.30 sabato 17/01/09.

Terra Libera Tutti - Anteprima a Corleone il 10/09

Nell'ambito delle manifestazioni legate alla 48 ore per la Legalità e della rassegna Libero Cinema in Livera Terra verrà proiettato "Terra libera Tutti" un documentario di Luigi Abramo ed Emanuele Piano.
Mercoledì 10 settembre ore 21:00 Corleone

Sinossi
In Sicilia c’è chi combatte la Mafia senza armi, microspie, informatori e avvisi di garanzia. E ottiene risultati pieni di energia e speranza. Sono giovani, non sono eroi, hanno cervello e tanta voglia di fare. Una delle poche leggi illuminate e un’associazione lungimirante ha permesso loro di rendere fruttuosi i beni che i Boss della criminalità organizzata avevano ottenuto con sangue e violenza.
Il lavoro sui beni confiscati è il risultato più concreto, più tangibile della lotta alle cosche e alla loro logica di prepotenza; la terra, la “roba” accumulata per il puro gusto di possedere, per l’ostentazione del potere, la terra ritorna nelle mani di chi la sa lavorare.
Ed ora la Cooperativa “Placido Rizzotto” produce lavoro, legalità e squisiti cibi biologici, testimoniando una sicilianità autentica fuori dai luoghi comuni, dove una vita “normale” e il sogno di un futuro nella propria terra è finalmente possibile.

PROIEZIONE DI ANOTHER AFRICAN STORY A RIMINI VENERDI' 29 SETT

Un'altra storia africana,
Premio Ilaria Alpi 2005, al Meeting di Rimini
26 AGOSTO 2008

Un'altra storia africana,Premio Ilaria Alpi 2005, al Meeting di RiminiSarà proiettato anche al Meeting di Rimini un reportage vincitore del Premio Ilaria Alpi.
Si tratta di "Another African Story _Un'altra storia africana", documentario realizzato da Emanuele Piano per la Oyibo Productions.

Vincitore del Premio Ilaria Alpi 2005, (sezione Produzione) il reportage di Piano racconta la situazione della regione del Darfur, nel Sudan occidentale, definita secondo le Nazioni Unite come "la più grave crisi umanitaria del mondo". Il Congresso degli Stati Uniti l'ha denominato genocidio. Questa è la storia di un popolo in fuga da un conflitto che non risparmia nessuno e obbliga a rifugiarsi in Chad. Ma è anche l'avventura dei ribelli che combattono all'interno del Darfur per i loro diritti, lo sviluppo e l'emancipazione politica. Forse si tratta di una situazione come altre, una di quelle che potremmo etichettare senza mezzi termini come "Un'altra storia africana." Ma possiamo chiudere gli occhi di fronte a quello che alcuni definiscono un genocidio?

Il documentario sarà proiettato VENERDI 29 AGOSTO ALLE 19, all'interno di STORIE DAL MONDO, Rassegna di Reportage Internazionali curata da Roberto Fontolan e Gian Micalessin.

Alla proiezione assisterà anche Salih Osman, Premio Sacharov 2007.

A NEW DOC AIRED BY PEOPLE&POWER ON AL JAZEERA INTERNATIONAL

PRESS RELEASE
CALIPARI FRIENDLY FIRE
SUNDAY, JUNE 29, ON AIR ON AL JAZEERA INTERNATIONAL AT 14:30 GMT

The investigative documentary, “Calipari Friendly Fire", will be aired Sunday by Al Jazeera International. The report by Italian journalists Fulvio Benelli and Emanuele Piano was produced by Oyibo Productions.

The 20 minute documentary follows a year of research and uncovers the events leading to and that followed the killing of Italian intelligence agent, Nicola Calipari, in Baghdad on March 4th 2005 by a U.S. check point. Calipari was on a mission in Iraq to free Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena. He was shot by NY National Guard gunner, Mario Lozano.

Since no tribunal, in Italy or in the United States, will ever judge Lozano for his actions - a U.S. military commission has ruled the behaviour of the check point as correct and Italian judges have ruled out their jurisdiction on the case - the search for truth is left to reporters.

“Calipari Friendly Fire" unveils how Mario Lozano was not the only soldier to shoot on the oncoming vehicle, how the U.S intelligence - although denying the circumstance - was aware of the mission by the Italian secret service agent to free Sgrena and how the crime scene was hastily cleaned up after the incident.

Darfur, a region in Western Sudan, has emerged as the "world's worst humanitarian crisis" according to the UN. A bloody conflict has erupted in the area in February 2003 when two rebel groups took up arms against the Sudanese government, which responded by bombing villages and killing innocent civilians with the aid of an irregular mercenary militia called
Janjaweed. This is the story of people fleeing from a conflict that doesn't spare anyone and taking refuge in Chad. But, it is also the tale of the rebels fighting inside Darfur for their right to development and political representation. Maybe it is a situation like others, one which we could bluntly label as Another African story. But can we get used to genocide?

The Other Mexico

Written and directed by FRANCESCA NAVA
Produced by OYIBO PRODUCTIONS, TELEMACO and Francesca Nava
Duration: 50’
At doc for sale Idfa 2007

Everybody knows him by his battle name: Sub-commander Marcos, the hooded guerrilla fighter that, since 13 years ago, is leading a fight for the rights of Mexican indigenous people. After 5 years of silence and isolation in his headquarter on the mountains of south-east Mexico – went public with a political campaign parallel to the election campaign for Mexican presidential elections on july 2, 2006.
This is The Other Campaign: a caravan of supporters of the Zapatista movement that during 2006 went through all the states of the Mexican federation. Goal: to spread the zapatista fight to the Mexican civil society, to create links among all the fighting movements, in order to build a grassroot social movement that can send a strong message to the powerful elites, completely deaf to the needs of indigenous, alienated and destitute Mexicans.

NIGER: BEHIND A FOOD CRISIS

Is the worst famine in the world’s poorest country the mere result of extraordinary natural disasters or are there man-driven policies behind it? What brings over three million people in the world's poorest country on the brink of starvation? Besides exceptional poor rain and swarms of locusts, what are the roots of Niger's recurrent food crisis? Why does the UN constantly receive its funds after TV troupes arrive on the ground? And why does a country not have the resources nor the social services needed to help a population in dire need of aid? Is poverty inevitable? Through a thorough investigation and with the aid of animations, the documentary looks for the answers to a problem that affects not only Africa. Replies which go under the name of debt, structural adjustmennt programmes and privatizations...

Core de roma a night in Testaccio

L’ARMANDILLO-Le Tatou

L’ARMANDILLO

Le Tatou

Animation stop motion / 13 x 2’ / Réalisation Pietro Durante / Scénario Susanna Mattiangeli / Production Loscaramazze / Shooting Format Dv Cam / Budget estimé 150.000 €

Cette série animée, avec des personnages en pâte à modeler, est composée de 13 épisodes de la durée de 2 minutes chacun. Chaque histoire débutera par l'énonciation d'un extrait, simple et compréhensible pour un public d'enfants, d'un article tiré de la Convention sur les droits de l'enfance. Le but est celui de faire connaître treize articles choisis à l'intérieur de la Convention qui serviront de fil rouge pour raconter des histoires de solidarité, respect et amitié. Le protagoniste des histoires c'est un petit tatou coloré qui habite dans une roulotte construite avec des déchets. Comme il vient de loin, le moteur de l'histoire sera sa diversité. A côté de ce Tatou, des amis: la grenouille et le muscardin. Dans le bois ils rencontrent différents animaux et vivent des histoires simples, amusantes et surréelles s'inspirant de l'énoncé de l'article auquel l'épisode est consacré. Le projet a obtenu le patronage du Comité italien pour l'UNICEF.
