In collaboration with Cinemateket Trondheim, we screen this classic consisting of four short films by four established directors: Rossellini, Godard, Pasolini and Gregoretti - hence the title Ro.Go.Pa.G. The first three are legendary, while the last one, Italian Ugo Gregoretti, today is far less known. He enjoyed, however, a long career, debuting in 1956 and making ​​films all until 2011.

In the opening segment, Rosselinis Illibatezza (Chastity), we meet an attractive flight attendant who becomes the object of unwanted attention from a male passenger. When they meet again at a hotel, she finds out how the perpetrator best can be counteracted. Godard stages his story Il nuovo mondo (The New World) in Paris, where the world's destruction occurs after a nuclear explosion 120,000 feet above the ground. In the prelude to this, people are affected in such a way that their movements become mechanical, logical thought and action disappear, and pill intake increases drastically.

In Gregorettis Il pollo ruspante (Free Range Chicken), the Italian middle class consumer society is presented in a harsh and satirical manner. Pasolini concludes with La ricotta (Curd Cheese) - in many ways the most memorable section - about a poor man, playing a bit part, and a film director (played by Orson Welles) who are involved in a film adaptation of Christ's crucifixion and death. Pasolini was the most controversial filmmaker of his time, and was sentenced to imprisonment due to the religious ridicule in this short.
