The body of a man lies on an autopsy table. The dark workshop, packed with various instruments, evokes a torture chamber. The animator’s scalpel penetrates the skin.

A domestic dispute like any other turns into a surreal confrontation between two humanoid robots capable of the most incredible transformations.
Italy 2017 Dir Donato Sansone 6min
RIOT
A young black man is killed in an altercation with a neighbour and the police. An indignant crowd gathers. The feeling of injustice is high. Emotion engenders riot. In the absence of words, can the body take its revenge?
