2046. The air has become unbreathable and the planet is suffering from a lack of oxygen. Green Militias are in power and have been denying people all contact with Nature for years in order to heal it. In NUR, in Sardinia, stretches one of the few remaining surviving forests, bordered by an impassable wall and guarded by drones. Five teenagers, who grew up without ever having touched a tree or taken a swim in the sea, decide to enter the forest, risking their lives, to discover the truth about their parents’ disappearance and take back their future. Because to change the world..it’s never too late.

On his deathbed, Ludovico entrusts his daughter Margot to the housekeeper, Felicia, asking that the family villa be transformed into an orphanage so that the little girl can grow up in joy with other children. But the wicked Felicia only wants the little girl’s assets and not take care of her. With the complicity of her suitor, Max, she exploits the orphaned children and keeps Margot segregated and neglected to the point that the child withdraws into herself and no longer speaks. One night, however, Margot manages to escape and, after overcoming the darkness of the woods, she comes across a circus. The little girl is greeted by Charlie, the white clown, who introduces her to the secret that makes their circus unique: the old big top is magical, capable of showing anyone who enters its ring for who they truly are. Margot shines and, without even realizing it, finds her voice again. Welcomed by her new circus family, Margot is reborn, but Felicia is looking for her… Will the little girl be able to reclaim her roots and free herself from Felicia’s clutches?

It’s the third decade of the 21st century, and Nobel Prize for Medicine Olivia Levi discovers the existence of the Obliques, a minority of the population born with a genetic conformation which changes their natural anthroposphere. The mere presence of an Oblique damages any other human being just like a radioactive element. People are terrified by this discovery. The Obliques are finally segregated in reservations, kept under control and placed far from cities and inhabited lands. Made to produce silk, which shields their radiations. But are the Obliques the origin of all evil or are they part of a new natural balance?

Most jobs that exist today might disappear within decades. What will this mean to us as human beings? Through four stories After Work explores what may happen to us when we don’t work. In the next 15 years, it is estimated that about half of the workforce will be replaced by automation and artificial intelligence. Are we ready for this change? What will it entail on an existential level? What will we do, in essence, when we no longer have to work? Through the direct experiences of its protagonists in four emblematic nations – Kuwait, South Korea, USA and Italy – After Work explores what could be the new work ethic, compatible with a future “work free existence”.

In recent days Rome has been the scene of an unusual event: when it rains, the manholes exhale a dense steam of unknown origin and composition. No one knows that those who breathe in the mysterious substance will have to deal with what they repress, their darkest instincts, their anger. Not even the Morel family.

About Us

We don't fake it

Company Profile

Founded in 2003 by Marina Marzotto and Propaganda SA, it was born as an Italian branch of the international network Propaganda Global Entertainment Marketing. In January 2014, it became primarily a cine-audiovisual production company, alternating development and production of its own projects with the work of executive production and development consultancy for third parties. It became entirely independent in 2016 following the sale of Propaganda G.E.M. to Wanda Group.

From 2014 to 2017, the company handled the executive production of Alessandra Galletta’s Obsession Vezzoli (2015) and co-produced Stefano Grossi’s Enemy of Islam (2016), produced David Grieco’s The Ploy (2016), an Italy-France co-production starring Massimo Ranieri and Libero De Rienzo, and handled the executive production of Alberto Rondalli’s Agadah (2017), based on Jan Potocki’s Manuscript Found in Zaragoza.

The following year, Propaganda produced 5 is the perfect number written and directed by Igort (2019) and based on his 2002 homonymous comic book. The film, an Italy-Belgium-France co-production, starring Toni Servillo, Valeria Golino and Carlo Buccirosso had its international debut in competition, at 2019 Venice Days and then was selected at major international festivals such as Busan, Sitges, Ghent and Pingyao. It won 7 Berenice Awards, including Best Director and Best Producer and was nominated for 9 David di Donatello and 4 Nastri d’Argento, where, in both cases Valeria Golino won as Best Actress in a Leading Role.

 

Over the past two years, in addition to pursuing the path of international co-productions in feature films, the Company has invested in editorial development including TV Series. In 2022, Flowing, a drama-horror, directed by Paolo Strippoli and starring Fabrizio Rongione, Cristiana Dell’Anna and Francesco Gheghi, co-produced by GapBusters (Be), began its distribution run. Already winner of the Solinas Prize for Best Screenplay in 2017, the film debuted at Fantastic Fest in Austin and then went on to being selected at dozens of national and international festivals including Sitges, Alice nella Città and receiving: the Jury Prize for Best Film at the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival; awards for Best Film, Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best SFX at the 50th Curtas Festival do Imaxinario; the Wonderland Award for Best Film at the Trieste Science+Fiction Festival; Best Actor Award to Francesco Gheghi at the Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre FF and the Caligari Award for Best Italian Genre Movie at the Noir in Festival. In 2022, Andrea Pallaoro’s Monica, first American film of the award-winning director and first official US co-production for Propaganda, also began its distribution run. The film debuted in competition at the Venice Film Festival followed by the participation at over 15 international festivals including: Busan, Chicago, AFI, Gijon, Marrakech and Tallinn. In 2023 Propaganda continued its distribution run with the release of After Work, a creative documentary by the Italian-Swedish Erik Gandini, and in 2024 is scheduled for release Alan Friel’s sci-fi thriller Woken, starring Erin Kellyman and Maxine Peake. Currently in production is the series Never too late in co-production with Rai Fiction and the family Incanto by Pier Paolo Paganelli. In preparation to go on-set the dystopian film Oblique 616 by Lyda Patitucci.

Editorial Line

An independent, dynamic and growing production that develops and produces Films, TV Series and Documentaries for the national and international market. Propaganda has a tailored approach and pays meticulous attention to the entire production process, defining the positioning of each film right from the development phase. Narrative tension, the fundamental pull of every project, plays a central role. The search for new stories, strong stories, genre experimentation is constant, thanks to a solid scouting activity on the Solinas Prize, and not only, and to a continuous and attentive look at the young talents emerging from the National Film School - CSC. The mission is to propagate stories, authors and new Italian talents and elevate them to an international fruition, through an audio-visual language that is Italian as much as universal. For this reason, all the projects are born from the constant dialogue with international markets and are co-produced with international partners.
