TORONTO – Since Carlo Lizzani’s 1949 documentary Nel Mezzogiorno Qualcosa è Cambiato (Something Has Changed in the South), nearly 60 major films have been shot in and around Matera’s 10,000-year-old cave dwellings – known as the Sassi. And now the sixth season of The Chosen, a very popular miniseries about the mission of Jesus of Nazareth, is being filmed in the aptly named “City of Stones”.
TORONTO – Quattro anni fa, la Pixar ha messo da parte il suo consueto approccio “realistico” alla produzione cinematografica quando ha ingaggiato Enrico Casarosa per realizzare il suo film d’animazione “Luca”. Il film segue le avventure di un bambino a Ponterosso, una cittadina di mare immaginaria sulla Riviera italiana…
TORONTO – Four years ago, Pixar set aside its usual brain trust approach to filmmaking when they hired Enrico Casarosa to make his animated film Luca. The film follows a little boy’s adventures in Ponterosso, a fictional seaside town on the Italian Riviera. A Genoa native, Casarosa made the most of his creative license and developed a story which was not only nominated by Academy Awards, but in 2021 became the most-watched streaming film with over 10.6 billion minutes viewed (on Disney +).
TORONTO – Molti nell’industria cinematografica italiana lamentano la mancanza di accuratezza etnica riguardo al casting per i ruoli italiani…
TORONTO – Many in the Italian film industry lament the lack of ethnic accuracy concerning casting for Italian roles. With the abundance of talent in Italy, it’s incomprehensible that foreign casting agents opt for non-Italians, especially for non-fictional roles in Italian based biopics. For example, Ferrari and The House of Gucci. There is a counter argument, however.
