And it is precisely there Passion which allows this opera – and the new TV series to be released in 2022 your Disney + – to generate unforgettable emotions and reflections over the years and generations, thanks to the creative genius of the director Ferzan Özpetek and the great work of the cast.
This special event also gave birth to a rich exchange of views on the differences between the world of cinema today and a few years ago, as well as sharing ideas, curiosities and unpublished details directly from the backstage.
On the set of the series The ignorant fairies also Cristiana Capotondi, already on the stage of the Boat – In on the opening night held on Tuesday. Established in the Italian cinema and show business, Cristiana boasts a brilliant and successful career. We find her in the role of Claudia in Night before exams (2006), The mafia only kills in the summer (2013) e Friends till death (2013).
Ambra Angiolini she is one of the most requested Italian interpreters by Italian television and cinema. In 2019 we see her among the four protagonists of the comedy Good girls (2019), a film directed by Michela Andreozzi and inspired by a story that really happened in France in the late 1980s. Now on the set of the television series The ignorant fairies – directed by Ferzan Ozpetek – where she will play Annamaria, astrologer and fortune teller.
Film and theater actress of Turkish origin but known in Italy thanks to her regular presence in most of Ferzan Ozpetek’s films, Serra Yilmaz represents one of those artists that are difficult to forget. Often in the shoes of whimsical characters, she remains in the memories of anyone who has seen her act in Harem Suare (1999), The ignorant fairies (2001) e The front window (2003).
In addition, two short films selected by the Artistic Direction of the Exhibition were also screened during the evening: Closed Out – directed by Giorgio Testi and a cast consisting of Stefano Accorsi e Colin Firth – e Lou’s neighbor – directed by Victoria Lafaurie e Hector Albouker.
Closed Out is a project born from a meeting of the director – Giorgio Testi – with Stefano Accorsi and Colin Firth during the lockdown, designed and wanted above all to revive the theater, a symbolic place of the closure of 2020 and of the violent slowdown that the entertainment world has been forced to suffer. A tribute therefore, a message of strength from art for art, and above all a way to tell the viewer that nothing will ever be able to extinguish the desire to create, study, experiment and live.
Lou’s neighbor is the story of a beautiful girl named Lou, strong, wild and constantly torn between the sweetness of childhood and the problems of adulthood. Through the eyes of the very lover Vladimir, Victoria Lafaurie and Hector Albouker have immortalized in this extraordinary short movie all the power and at the same time the cruelty of teenage love.
Passion e creativity, essential elements in the creation of a cinematographic work, act as a Red string to the many events organized by Campari – Main Sponsor of the Exhibition for the fourth consecutive year – on the occasion of the 78th Edition of the Venice International Film Festival. «The Festival as a whole is going in a way that gives us optimism», explains Clarice Pinto, Campari’s marketing director, «In our DNA, there is the will to bet on new talents. We believe that even with 160 years behind us we need to constantly reinvent ourselves: only young people can lead us towards the future. So we decided to invest in projects like Fellini Foward, in which artificial intelligence joins cinema. Campari’s idea on a global level is to be more and more connected with cinema, through the concept of Red Passion. It is the passion that gives the impetus, talent is something that can be innate, but if the passion is lacking there is no possibility to go further. Our next goal is to bring people back to cinemas: at this exhibition we have found the enthusiasm of the public, which we hope will also spread to distribution and among people to return to the cinema ».
