Developed with ten students from JFK in Monselice, drawn from their second and third year high school classes specializing in agricultural and computer science, Fuggiamo lontano (Let's Run Away) is a film based entirely on archive material that tells the story of a journey through four stories of teenagers who imagine going to the place of their dreams with a loved one by their side: their dog, their brother, their mother, and their friend. The voices of Sara, Matteo, Serena, and Alessandro intertwine with seemingly distant images, triggering a space-time collision in which feelings explode out of time.

To mark the recent thirtieth anniversary of Sergio Leone’s death, this documentary sets out to pay tribute to one of the great legends of world cinema. The singular artistic vision of Sergio Leone has transcended national borders, creating the Spaghetti Western genre and transforming the international cinematic panorama forever with his innovative stylistic and narrative solutions, which have now become part of the language of the movies. The film, which is enriched with precious archive footage from the Cineteca di Bologna, including rare audio recordings and film clips shot behind the scenes, sees for the first time the direct participation of the Leone family and has interviews both with Leone’s longtime collaborators and with icons of Hollywood who have been profoundly influenced by his work.
A compilation of over 30 years of private home movie footage shot by Lithuanian-American avant-garde director Jonas Mekas, assembled by Mekas "purely by chance", without concern for chronological order.
