Synopsis
Carlo Roda is from the Italian coastal town of La Spezia. For over 30 years he has collected thousands of films, from Italian Neo Realist classics to Hollywood horrors.
Having once trawled shutdown cinemas and rubbish dumps for forgotten gems, his life's work now sits in a damp, dusty warehouse. This is the story of an incredible film collection and its cynical owner, whose world is turned upside down as a group of local film lovers try to restore these pieces of cinematic history to their former glory.
How will Carlo react to the invasion of his archive of dreams?

Synopsis
Produced by Karen Smyth and directed by Vince Hunter for La Belle Allee Productions, Scottish film The Colour of Sound took the Best Film Trophy "for the engaging way it conveyed a whole tapestry of science," judge Anna Littleboy of the CSIRO told the crowd. From the noise of our urban landscape to the musical cocoons created by high-tech devices, sound maybe our most lively and versatile interface with the world. This program takes viewers on a sonic odyssey that assesses the frequently overlooked impact of what we hear. Defining the concept of sound, the documentary takes a mind-blowing CGI tour through the human ear and its vibration-decoding systems.
