MOPE!
/'LOVE! is a feature-length, fictional film composed of the works
of global filmmakers whose short stories share a common theme•
Together with the connecting elements between storylines, these
illustrate the "oftentimes dispassionate state of humanity on our
planet"
Pietro Jona, director, claims the stories in MOVE! contain
poignant, charming, neurotic and even comical aspects of various
cultures and the film --though entertaining --also well serves as
an inside look into the more global aspects of human nature•
MOVE! is an introspective look at the mystery of the origins of
humankind as wonderfully described by Stanley Kubrick in 2001
Space Odyssey and explores what it takes to have human beings
make the MOVE! that propels them to change their circumstances
for the better•
MOVE! is targeted for distribution through global film festivals
including Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Sundance, also theatrical and
finally, home video release•
