Fabio Zuliani

Seen from the outside, it’s an old arch-windowed house overlooking a field isolated from the center of the village. But the rooms of this dark haven of demons hide unimaginable secrets. It was within those very four walls that an artist ordained to Lucifer killed himself with a razor blade in the winter of 1931. Many occultists maintain that his ghost still wanders like a shadowy agent of evil, desecrating the bodies of those who come too close to his hypnotic, diabolical allure...

An art film, both "weird" and experimental, it gathers elements of filmmaking which recall German expressionism and surrealism. "Play" retraces ancient fears and visceral obsessions in a black and white nightmare whose post-production work lasted for years.

"Mr Raven" is a strange crow-like creature from outer space. Mr Raven will be your guide on this somewhat curious journey through the voluptuous labyrinths of erotica, where Zuliani (who plays fifteen different characters, both male and female), takes a humorous and ironic look at sex, bondage, Kamasutra and the mystical experience of Tantra!

This film is on the other hand a Noir fiction set in Basilicata, played out against a spiritual backdrop: Carlo Altieri, a Piedmontese detective with a turbulent past, is hired by a young aristocratic Russian woman intent on finding her boyfriend, who has mysteriously disappeared in Basilicata. Altieri thus begins an intriguing and unpredictable journey through the valleys and badlands of Basilicata and, with the help of a fortune-teller, he starts to unravel an intricate sequence of events that will lead him as far as Matera.
