Anna (1975)
A documentary ostensibly about Anna, a young drug addict taken off the streets by one of the filmmakers. Through her they attempt to explore the social issues from their hippie perspective, instead they create a revealing, uncomfortable self-portrait and inadvertently raise questions about documentary film-making.

Girati di Anna – Presentrazione a Venezia, settembre 1975 (2025)
After its premiere at the Berlinale Forum in February '75, Anna was also presented in Venice, the film was followed by a very well-participated debate, alongside Alberto Grifi there was Adriano Aprà, and among those present was Tatti Sanguineti, the author of a very articulate critical speech. The footage of this meeting is part of the 30 cassettes containing the video footage from which the film was edited, thanks to the work of Anna Maria Licciardello, the Cineteca Nazionale with the Fondazione Grifi and the La camera ottica laboratory in Gorizia.

Shot by Alberto Grifi at the Parco Lambro Juvenile Proletariat Festival between 26 and 29 June 1976. Grifi, together with Franco Berbero and a young Claudio Caligari, filmed 25 hours on video and 3 hours on film which never made it to the final cut of a report for which he had been called by the organizers, the editorial staff of the magazine 'Re Nudo'.

Nonotte (1961)
Only the working copy exists. The negative was destroyed by the production. With Beppe Lenti. The title says it all: the production, tired of the fact that during the making of the film we were changing the script at night, denied us the generator to shoot some reverse shots. So there are actors who at night, in a concrete statue factory, talk to other actors, in a car cemetery, in the sun.

Cyril (una cosa urgente) (1960)

Autoritratto Auschwitz. L'occhio è per così dire l'evoluzione biologica di una lagrima (2007)
In the film we find some scrap of slow motion they see a Monica Vitti trying to cry, a meeting between Antonioni and Grifi, a film shot in the concentration camp of Auschwitz with a survivor who recounts those awful moments, a glimpse of Palestine today, Grifi's reflections on the prison.

Il preteso corpo (1977)
Hospital documentary on the testing of a medicine produced by a known pharmaceutical company on people considered psychiatrically calibrated that caused a "vascular storm" with horrible convulsions.

Transfert per Camera verso Virulentia (1967)
On a theatrical work by Aldo Braibanti, the special effects used in an attempt to construct a new visual grammar capable of describing "the new geography of boundless perceptions and imaginaries, the emergence of memories from the very distant phylogenetic past of our animal ancestors, a gift of psychotropic substances."

No stop grammatica (1966)
A happening that lasted 12 hours in the Feltrinelli bookshop in Rome. The soundtrack (background weaning) was put together by the crowd, recomposing, without listening to them, pieces of magnetic film that had been distributed around. There are almost all the painters, directors and actors of the Roman avant-garde.

Il grande freddo (1971)
A film about painting and its denial concerning Giordano struggling with the Sleeping Beauty, this is the challenge. Will art, free of museums and academies be able to give back to the child raped and abandoned on the snow, the desire to go on living? Giordano, Prince Charming bearing butterfly catchers and rotating optical games, plods along sinking into the snow and… but revolutionary creativity is not the one that makes the bird in the cage sink: is it the reason why the imprisoned bird breaks the cage.

Long Live The Orgonauts! (1970)
In the distant future, a spaceship inhabited by a group of young descendants of a "subversive" minority who escaped the destruction of the Earth, recovers a capsule in which the hibernating body of a reactionary warmonger has been preserved, who after having caused war and death, it has abandoned the now unlivable Earth. The visual experimentation aimed at the liberation of the gaze is intertwined with psychedelic visions on the one hand and with the orgone theory of Reichian memory on the other.

Dinni e la Normalina, ovvero la Videopolizia Psichiatrica contro i sedicenti Gruppi di Follia Militante (1978)
This is a quite a rare example of a political sci-fi filmed without means. An excessive and schizophrenic creature, DINNI E LA NORMALINA allows Grifi’s more playful soul to see the light, while not dispersing the dark reflection on the exploitation by media institutions.
