On the opening day of Tampere Film Festival, March 5, 1997, exactly 75 years will have passed since the birth of Pier Paolo Pasolini. On that day, as a homage to his life's work, there will be a screening of four of his short films.
His first short film was La Ricotta (1962), a parody of the filming of a biblical movie, with Orson Welles playing the role of the director. Pasolini got a four-month suspended sentence for this film on grounds of "blasphemy of the state religion".
La Terra Vista dalla Luna (1966), an episode from the movie Le Streghe, is a hilarious farce about the mysticism of miracles. Notes for a Film about India (1968) describes the India of the contrasts. The documentary Le Mura di Sana (1974) was made during the filming of Il Fiore delle Mille e una Notte. The screenings also include a rarely seen feature film The Hawks and The Sparrows (1966), an allegorical story about a society which is divided into hawks and sparrows, the exploiters and those being exploited.
