Through the use of modern digital tools, Rino lifts from the immobility of the canvas the expressive force behind the original subjects.

Aislados / Isolated. 2000. HD.

Documentary TV Series Amazonîa, última llamada / Amazonia: Last Call.
Episode 2. Aislados / Isolated.
The tribe Zo'é shows his way of life and their perception of the world. We will know the identity of this isolated village through their daily actions, we will see how is your relationship with the environment around them and with their own kind. We will live for several months along with 184 members of this ethnic group, one of the last groups living in the countryside, ignoring our history and reigning over the Amazon jungle for centuries.
This series (Amazonia: Last Call) travels across Brazilian landscapes by way of one of the main links still binding the essence of humanity with the Earth: the Amazon.
The filming of the first point of contact with an isolated race, the Zo'E, the encroachment on areas of the Amazonian forest previously uncaptured on film, the evidence relating to the development of the illegal trafficking of species or the recording of the immeasurable value of Brazil's natural spaces; these are just excerpts from the series. The underlying theme is the conflict between the development and conservation of one of the key natural areas underpinning the stability of the planet.
Director: Luis Miguel Domínguez.

Učna leta izumitelja Polža / Apprenticeship of the Inventor Polz. 1982..

Старое югославское кино про жизнь местных школьников во времена социализма. Яни был с детства большим выдумщиком и изобретателем, потом он подрос но увлечение осталось. Теперь у него есть и другие интересы - девочки, одна из них влюблена в него, а ему нравится другая. А его младший брат решает пойти по его стопам и тоже пытается спрыгнуть с балкона с зонтиками как с парашютом...
SI. Učna leta izumitelja Polža je 89-minutni slovenski celovečerni film, ki je bil posnet in premierno predvajan 1. januarja 1982. Režiral je Jane Kavčič, sceniral pa Željko Kozinc. Takoj po snemanju pa je v prometni nesreči umrl glavni igralec, Miha Petrovčič.
Osnovnošolec Jani, ki ga prijatelji kličejo Polž, se ukvarja s precej utopičnimi poskusi. Tako med drugim že kot otrok skoči z balkona z uporabo dežnikov kot padala, povzroči eksplozijo televizorja in eksperimentira z elektriko. Skoraj z vsakim neuspelim poskusom doma zakuha kako nesrečo, ki je nadvse komična, saj ga ob vsakem poskusu okara ali celo našeška oče. Njegova najnovejša ideja predvideva pretvorbo nekoristne energije ultrazvočnega valovanja v električno energijo, kar bi zmanjšalo onesnaževanje zaradi uporabe fosilnih goriv.
Ob strani mu stojijo mama, sošolca Hojka in Fitipaldi ter soseda Violeta, glasbeno nadarjena punca, nobenega razumevanja za njegove poskuse pa ne pokažeta oče in učitelj fizike. Kljub temu vztraja s poskusi in se odloči, da gre do konca.
Na koncu naprava za pretvorbo ultrazvoka v električno energijo začne skoraj delovati, vendar nato eksplodira, kar prinese tudi konec eksperimentiranja doma. Film se konča, ko Polžev mlajši brat Luka z dežnikoma odskoči z balkona, kar kaže na to, da bo očitno nekoč sledil bratovim stopinjam.

3. Blodsøstre / Blood Sisters.

"Blood Sisters", Danish filmmaker Louise Friedberg's sophomore short film, is the kind of flick that you simply can't take your eyes off of. It's a relatively simple story that has been played out time and time again: a young girl feels threatened by her best friend's new friend/neighbour, jealousy brews, and tempers flare. A slow but steady pace brings to mind late 20th century minimalist music, creeping along with perseverance and contemplative awe. The aura is distinctly Scandinavian: simultaneously chilly and warm, dominated by icy whites, whimsical laces and the splash of blood red. But what makes Friedberg's film resonate so loudly is how straight she plays archetype. There is no homage, no winking at the audience. Just bravura filmmaking that pulses with beauty, tension and breathtaking performances.

Director: Louise Friedberg.

Cast: Malou Z. Bruun, Angela Bundalovic, Liv Corfixen.

Sheena / Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. 1984. HD.

 Sheena, also known as Sheena: Queen of the Jungle, is a 1984 fantasy-adventure film based on a comic-book character that first appeared in the late 1930s, Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.
A hybrid of action-adventure and soap opera–style drama, Sheena was shot on location in Kenya. It tells the tale of a female version of Tarzan who was raised in the fictional African country of Tigora by the equally fictional Zambouli tribe.
The film starred Tanya Roberts, Ted Wass, and Trevor Thomas. It was directed by John Guillermin and written by Lorenzo Semple, Jr., who had previously collaborated on the 1976 remake of King Kong.
Released by Columbia Pictures on August 17, 1984, Sheena bombed in theaters and was nominated for five Golden Raspberry Awards including Worst Picture, Worst Actress (Tanya Roberts), Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Musical Score, but it reportedly did find some cult success on home video and DVD.
Sheena's white parents are killed while on Safari. She is raised by the mystical witch woman of an African tribe. When her foster mother is framed for the murder of a political leader, Sheena and a newsman, Vic Casey are forced to flee while pursued by the mercenaries hired by the real killer, who hopes to assume power. Sheena's ability to talk to the animals and knowledge of jungle lore give them a chance against the high tech weapons of the mercenaries.
Director: John Guillermin.
Cast: Tanya Roberts, Ted Wass, Donovan Scott, Elizabeth of Toro, France Zobda, Trevor Thomas, Clifton Jones, John Forgeham, Errol John, Sylvester Williams, Michael Shannon.

Outcast of the Islands. 1951.

 Outcast of the Islands is a 1951 film directed by Carol Reed based on Joseph Conrad's novel An Outcast of the Islands. The film features Robert Morley, Trevor Howard, Ralph Richardson, and Wendy Hiller.
Peter Willems (Trevor Howard), a selfish and ambitious man, is accused of stealing in his position as manager of a shipping port operation near Singapore. After he is dismissed for his misconduct he reacquaints himself with the trading ship Capt. Lingard (Ralph Richardson) who befriended him as a 12-year-old boy. Lingard agrees to help Willems regain his reputation by taking him to a trading village located up a difficult-to-navigate channel near the coast of Batam. Lingard's son-in-law, Elmer Almeyer (Robert Morley), operates a trading operation for Capt. Lingard in the village. Lingard asks Almeyer to take Willems under his wing and teach him the business. While Lingard is away on one of his sea trips, Willems abuses his trust, seduces the village chieftain's daughter Aissa (Kerima), attempts to steal Almeyer's business operation, humiliates Almeyer before the villagers, and shares the navigation secrets of the channel with an Arab trader who competes with Capt. Lingard. Lingard returns to discover the mess Willems has made and confronts Willems — who has now been condemned by the villagers because of the shame he brought to the frail and dying chieftain. He abandons Willems to live in isolation and exile.
Director: Carol Reed.
Cast: Ralph Richardson, Trevor Howard, Robert Morley, Wendy Hiller, Kerima, George Coulouris, Tamine, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Peter Illing, Betty Ann Davies, Marne Maitland, James Kenney.

Pippi Långstrump / Pippi Longstocking. 1969. The best episodes.

 SE. Pippi Långstrump är en svensk TV-serie från 1969 i 21 delar, baserad på Astrid Lindgrens barnböcker om Pippi Långstrump. Det var till största delen inspelad i och nära Visby och med barnskådespelarna Inger Nilsson ("Pippi"), Maria Persson ("Annika") och Pär Sundberg ("Tommy") i de centrala rollerna. På grund av svensk-tysk samproduktion deltog ett antal tyska skådespelare, vars röster dubbades till svenska i den svenska visningen.
1973 presenterades en omklippt version av TV-materialet som långfilmen Här kommer Pippi Långstrump. 1970 års Pippi Långstrump på de sju haven är dock en separat produktion med i stort sett samma skådespelare.
Pippi Långstrump bor ensam i Villa Villekulla eftersom hennes mamma är ängel i himmelen och hennes pappa kung på en Söderhavsö. Syskonen Tommy och Annika blir hennes vänner och de 21 olika TV-avsnitten handlar om deras äventyr ihop.

The series' theme song, "Here Comes Pippi Longstocking" ("Här Kommer Pippi Långstrump") was composed by Jan Johansson (in one of his last works, before his death a year before the series aired), with lyrics by Astrid Lindgren. The song was sung by series star Inger Nilsson.
A mysterious young girl, Pippi Longstocking, moves into the abandoned Villa Villekulla. The redheaded Pippi, living alone but for a monkey called Mr. Nilsson and her horse Little Old Man, befriends two neighboring children, Tommy and Annika. Soon inseparable companions, the three youngsters embark upon a series of colorful escapades, which turn the small Swedish town upside down. Local busybody Miss Prysselius schemes to have Pippi put into a children's home, and sets the town's bumbling cops Kling and Klang on her with riotous results!
