PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
As they’re considered decamping to different European cities, Mina (Lucrezia Guidone) and Enzo (Marco Cassini) book rooms at an experimental B&B where each room represents a different city and time zone. A preparatory course for long distance relationships, couples who visit are asked to adhere to its strict rules: no entering your partner’s room, no cell phones, and no contact with your significant other — except for two hours a day in the common room. Unfortunately, Mina and Enzo aren’t on the same page about what they hope to learn from the TIME ZONE INN in this highly-original romantic drama, the feature film debut from director Andrea Di Iorio.
Mina may go to Paris for work, and Enzo to London — similar time zones, different breakfasts — but quickly, their stays diverge. While Mina seems delighted by her “bells of Notre Dame” wake up call and her breakfast of croissants and café au lait, Enzo, not so much, with his experience that includes Big Ben and Bangers and Mash. And, by day one, they’re breaking the rules and having dinner with another couple, Marco and Catia, who’ve chosen to live in Beijing and Berlin. Soon, however, another test arrives with the appearance of the proprietor’s niece, Gaia, which dismantles all sense of reality and changes everyone’s outlook — and not necessarily for the better. Will love be able to outlast a weekend at THE TIME ZONE INN?
Following its World Premiere at the seventh edition of the New York City Independent Film Festival, the TIME ZONE INN captured accolades and awards at film festivals the world over, including Best Actress Awards for Lucrezia Guidone at the Fano Film Festival and Melbourne Indie Film Festival, where it also received nominations for Best Leading Actor (Marco Cassini) and Best Screenplay. The film also captured the People’s Jury Award at Rome’s Ad Arte Festival.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In the ’90s, every boy around the world — even amidst cultural embargos — was glued to VHS karate action films and dreamt of being a superhero. On March 11, 1990, a year before the formal dissolution of the Soviet Union, Lithuania became the first Soviet republic to declare itself independent. Reacting to Soviet aggression, the newly re-established Lithuanian Army Command decided to create the first-ever national crack commando unit and gave a selective group of young men the chance to be the “Rambos” of their country as members of a top-secret Special Forces Unit aimed at countering Soviet aggression. Most members were given an animal nickname – Spider, Horse, Whale, Crab — hence the unit was known as the Zoo. And from parachute jumps and hand-to-hand combat training to securing the KGB building in Vilnius, at the beginning of the end of the USSR, DELTA ZOO, a playful documentary from filmmaker Andrius Lekavičius, utilizes first-person interviews, cleverly stylized animation, archival footage and original music to tell the hidden story of the first-ever Lithuanian Special Forces: a courageous, impassioned, and youthful endeavor against the powers that once were.
