    Di chi è ora la città? (Whose City Now?)

    Director, Omar Pesenti, Italy
    A mafia war is destroying the two clans that own the city: the Piazzis and the Mirapontes. An agreement between the bosses sees that just two chosen men, against them, will decide the result of the bloody fight. So, it starts a pitiless manhunt, where the rival cancellation is the last objective. A duel that becomes the cage where the two protagonists are trapped. A fair challenge in the illegality world, the whole city as match ground.

    The Notorious Newman Brothers

    Director, Ryan Noel, CAN
    Gangsters have been covered before, but never like this! Join Max Chaplin, an inexperienced film director, as he struggles to document brothers Paulie and Thunderclap Newman on their ascension to mobster mediocrity. Hoping to penetrate the brothers tight bond, Max goes deep inside with Paulie and Thunderclap to uncover the truth about wiseguys, their influences, wizard ladies, mammoth hair jackets, mobster charades, a little bit of manslaughter and easily one of the biggest dope deals of all time.

    Programmers’ Note: In the filmmakers’ press release they couldn’t say the following so we let them say it here: “Do yourself a f**king favour and see The Notorious Newman Brothers, the film the Mafia wish never got made!”
