In Turin, Zerka Toeman Moreno performs the strange role of "La Moreno (che tutti sanno chi è)" and directs the psychodrama of Pier Luigi Pirandello, nephew of Luigi Pirandello and son of the painter Fausto Pirandello.

- Controcorrente is an entirely emission-free documentary movie produced thanks to crowdfunding by hundred supporters, most of them under 30. Controcorrente is no conventional movie production, but a project from below. It is an idea of two youngsters which became reality thanks to the web of followers, who believed in the project and in its social value and financed it. Having crossed 11 Italian regions, this documentary focuses on the most pressing environmental issues. It deals with the question of climate change and its social repercussions, both in Italy and worldwide. It is zero-impact because we calculated the documentary's Carbon Footprint - direct and indirect emissions - and we compensated for them through the planting of a woods in the province of Vercelli, which has about 200 trees. This documentary endeavors at implementing scientific divulgation and environmental education. It is designed to be a product accessible to all, primarily aimed at the new generations who hold in their hands our planet's future, not only from an environmental point of view. A zero-impact documentary - Controcorrente woods Despite our awareness towards the environment, to produce Controcorrente about 2613 kg of CO2 were emitted until now. The Carbon Footprint calculation has been realized by two students of the course in Economics of the Environment, Culture and Territory of the University of Turin. It allowed the team of Controcorrente to compensate (and over-compensate) for the emissions necessary to the movie production. Thanks to the Piedmont Region and the Po Vercellese-Alessandrina park, the 23d of March 2019 we planted the Controcorrente woods in Fontanetto Po (in the province of Vercelli), which has about 200 trees. It is therefore the first impact-zero documentary.
