- DirectorLou DematteisMary Jo McConahayCrimebuster follows photojournalist Lou Dematteis as he journeys in search of the story of his late father, the influential Italian American crime fighter and jurist Louis B.

- DirectorReginald BarkerStarsGeorge BebanClara WilliamsJ. Frank BurkeAn Italian immigrant and his sweetheart search for a better life in America, but the harsh realities of life in the slums of New York City lay waste to their hopes and dreams.
- DirectorStefano AnselmiStarsMassimo ZanuzziThe first gaze. The italian who invented cinema. The story of the incredible and little-known life of the pioneer of Italian cinema, Filoteo Alberini. The reconstruction of the incredible life of the Italian pioneer, Filoteo Alberini, becomes the occasion for a reflection on the birth of Italian cinema and, more generally, on the Seventh Art and its nature as the "magnificent obsession". A journey in the company of an exceptional storyteller, guardian par excellence of cinema's forgotten ones, Georges Méliès, who conducts an investigation of this figure, practically unknown in our present day. With "The Italian Who Invented Cinema", I've attempted to create a modernized, present-day version of the classic historical biographical documentary through the use of a particular type of reenactment that relegates the historical reconstruction to a single narrating character, Georges Méliès, who moves about like a private investigator of the cinema through the various environments Alberini lived in, as they are seen today. The use of Méliès as a narrator, symbol of long-forgotten filmmakers subsequently rediscovered (by Méliès, who fortunately, is still alive), gives us the possibility on the writing level of playing with various genres and languages, such as the investigation report, the detection genre, graphic reconstruction, through the use of the repertory made available by Milan's Fondazione Cineteca Italiana in a narrative, un-mechanical way. BLUE CINEMA TV PRODUCTIONS was founded in 1999, heir to a three generation-long family tradition of photographic artisans that came into existence in 1929. The mission to "write with light", starting with the development and photographic printing phase, proceeding on to high definition digital and visual effects, constitutes the distinctive trait of this independent film production company.
