A season of very high content comes to an end for the Circolo Gulliver and the arthouse cinema Comunale of Dosolo. We had no doubts about it. The Dosolo room, its walls, the sounds of its steps and its seasons, its small giant spaces and even its silences – its programming never the result of chance – are music, a punch in the stomach and bread for the soul. They always have been, even if it often means going against the current, going up the stream from the most complex part. Feeding your belly – beyond the economic cost – is fairly more or less easy. Feeding the soul is increasingly less so. A difficult path full of obstacles that requires reflection, ability, attitude, creativity and imagination.
In Dosolo you can breathe good air. An air of lightness and at the same time of profound and enchanting beauty. Air of reality and restlessness. Even the May calendar, the last month of the winter season (before the open-air cinema festival which opens in July) is full of ideas and possibilities for reflection, meeting, socialising, reasoning. Someone will think that we speak – and so do we – as lovers. And he will think well. We are in love with Dosolo, its club, its cinema and its lights, its stars. In love with a time that is also ours.
But banishment – for a moment – to the natural poetry that arises from thoughts to write about May which leaves, and at full speed, in a few days.

Mahmud and Samir live in Gaza City, a city hit by bombing every day. They couldn’t be more different, but they have a great passion in common: surfing. As soon as they can, they run to the sea to wait for a wave to ride, that suspended moment in which to feel free, the only way to escape, even if just for a moment, from the difficulties of war.
Tuesday 7 9pm – Francesco Conversano and Nene Grignaffini. We need a country. Zavattini, Luzzara and the Po. The documentary tells, today more than ever, the need to rediscover the value of community, of being together. The film is testimony to an environmental emergency, to the wounds and fragility of the Po River. Hence everyone’s need to counteract the irreversibility of its future, lovingly taking care of it before it is too late.
