Portrait of the Queen
                                                                             A documentary about the image of
                                                                     the single most iconic Woman of our times.
                              This will be her story spanning through seven decades, seen through the
                          lenses of the world’s greatest photographers as they created an iconographic
                               image that remains unique, while everything around her, culture, society
                                and politics, changes at the speed of light. It is based on Paola Calvetti’s
                              book “Elisabetta II: Ritratto di regina” (Elizabeth II: Portrait of the Queen).
                                  The documentary is directed by one of the world’s most sought-after
                             photographers, Fabrizio Ferri. Among the others, contributions of: David
                           Montgomery, Brian Aris, Chris Levine, John Swannell, Jason Bell, Julian Calder.

                             I preferred to shoot their ‘portraits’ in the studio, with a pictorial light, in a black “box”, portraying
                               them dressed in black. Their stories, their emotions in recalling them, their experiences with the
                                                                                Queen which they shared with me - Fabrizio Ferri.

                           Charles Dance will embody the great legends of photography like Cecil Beaton, Bryan Adams, Lord
                         Snowdon, Jousuf Karsch, also through their own words, written in diaries like Cecil Beaton’s memoires.
                           It’s not just a narrative voice, but a real presence that forms the backbone of the film - Fabrizio Ferri.

Men and Gods
The Wonders of the Museo Egizio
Kha, architect and builder of tombs for the pharaohs, has to undertake the journey to the
Underworld, amid a thousand dangers.

Eternal life is at stake, but the risk is ending up being dissolved into cosmic nothingness. Telling us
the story of his adventure is Jeremy Irons, in the guise of a narrator resembling an ancient storyteller.
His words take us inside the secret world of Egyptian mythology, religion and funerary culture,
interweaving the story with the history of the Museo Egizio in Turin, which was founded in 1824 and
is the oldest in the world. In fact, the Tomb of Kha is located in Turin and has the most complete,
most valuable private collection of grave goods outside Egypt, alongside thousands of other exhibits
of exceptional value. Along the Nile, among the magnificent monuments of Giza, Luxor, Karnak, in
the Valley of the Kings and the workers’ village of Deir el-Medina, the story told by Irons follows the
tracks of Italian explorers and archaeologists in the places where they collected the most important
pieces making up the Turin collection - their itineraries also lead to the exhibition halls in the Cairo
Museum, the Ägyptischen Museum in Berlin, the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris.
From Ramesses II in Turin, to the treasure of Tutankhamun, the bust of Nefertiti, the Red Scribe in the
Louvre, and the Rosetta Stone in London, this documentary is also a journey among the most beautiful
archaeological finds Egypt has left us.

Venice
Infinitely Avant-Garde
This documentary shows Venice and its openness to the world, and to the
future, through its art and its museums, its canals and its narrow streets (calle).
The attraction, the decadence and dynamism of the oldest city of the future.
This journey of the city takes in masterpieces by Tiepolo, Canaletto, Rosalba Carriera
and the intellectuals who fell in love with Venice: from Canova to Goethe, Byron to
Walter Scott, down to the great Hollywood stars drawn to its unique, yearly Film
Festival. Venice continues to be unique: for its urban environment, made of stone,
earth and water, and for its history, that has entered the realm of legend. But above
all, Venice is unique for its identity, which combines contrasting DNA blueprints: the
charm of decadence and the excitement of being on the cutting edge. Cosmopolitan
from the outset, Venice has always been a city of commercial and cultural exchange
with the East and, taking into account its fragility, has always had vision and been
inspired by the future.

                                  The debt contemporary culture has towards Munch is impressive, from Andy
                                    Warhol to Ingmar Bergman, from Marina Abramovich to Jasper Johns. If his
                                 painting has become a symbol and at the same time an omen of the tragedies
                                     of the twentieth century, his art has travelled new and experimental roads
                                      of extraordinary modernity. Today, however, it is his city, Oslo, which sets
                                      a turning point for the knowledge of Munch: the birth of a new museum,
                                  opened in Fall 2021. The documentary will start from there to shed light on a
                                               man and an artist with singular charm, a precursor and a master.

The Importance of
Being an Architect
 A documentary film conceived of as a virtual dialogue and musical journey in
four acts, which investigates the responsibility of architects in building the
society of tomorrow. Through the eyes of Antonio Citterio, one of the best-known
Italian designers around the world, and Patricia Viel, co-founders of the Milanese
architecture studio ACPV, the film leads us to a vision of design in the architecture
of tomorrow, centered on an armistice between nature and the built environment.
Alternating dialogues with various personalities from the world of fashion, art,
design, and investigating the architectures designed by ACPV, the documentary
offers a vision of the post-Covid world, in the midst of the climate crisis and urban
redistribution. The latent energy contained in the architectural places is evoked
through musical scenes set in different parts of the world (Milan, L’Aquila, Hamburg,
Taichung, Miami), in which individual musicians spread spatially distant notes that
meet in a single composition capable of breaking down distances and projecting man
into his natural habitat, that of the cities of tomorrow.

                                 Here is a film that, with tenderness, empathy and love, tells the
                             story of the man and the sportsman that was the legendary Marco
                               Pantani, “the pirate”. “The first real film about Marco” his mother
                             said and we are particularly proud of it. Through public and private
                                archive material and intimate, moving conversations with family
                                members, his coach and close friends, “The Natural” retraces the
                                  life of a great cyclist against the backdrop of his home town of
                             Cesenatico, a small town overlooking the Adriatic Sea, a town with
                              the warmth to never stop believing that “someone like him would
                            ever give in”. This is a portrait that restores vitality and dignity to an
                                                            iconic figure that has been trampled on.

Modigliani
Artist Maudit, scandalous genius and indisputable master of 20th Century Art:
a portrayal that goes beyond the legendary to celebrate the 100thAnniversary since
his death. Narrated here from the original point of view of his young wife, Jeanne
Hébuterne who committed suicide two days after his death. Jeanne together with
the Russian aspiring poetess Anna Achmatova, and the English journalist Beatrice
Hastings were the women he painted portraits of, and whose faces, almost caryatid-
like, became the very icons of his art. The action of the film unwinds through museum
halls, enriched by the works of the Albertina in Vienna and the splendid exhibition
dedicated to the artist at Livorno’s City Museum, as well as the National Gallery of Art
in Washington and the great museums and art collections in Paris.

                                                       A music icon that moves “Body and Soul”
                         Conte has been compared to Tom Waits and Randy Newman by the New
                         York Times and is one of the greatest singers in the province of the world
                            – to quote his song lyrics “La provincia del mondo”. The documentary
                        forms an ideal itinerary with Luca Zingaretti (The Inspector Montalbano
                            mystery series) as narrator, telling the story of an eclectic, mysterious
                         character. Verdelli has drawn on Conte’s immensely rich personal archive
                        and combined ad hoc material: interviews, filmed footage of international
                              tours and special moments making up a unique career. There is also
                            an extraordinary collection of individual stories and recollections from
                       Roberto Benigni, Pupi Avati, Isabella Rossellini, Jane Birkin, Patrice Leconte.

Titian                     (working title)

The empire of Color
Early 1500s, in a city covered with gold, standing admired over a ‘hidden forest’, a
boy descends from the Dogado’s mountains. He will be eventually remembered as
‘the most excellent amongst painters’. Extraordinary master of colour and brilliant
entrepreneur of himself, innovative both in a painting’s composition and in how to
sell it, in a few years Tiziano Vecellio becomes the official painter of the Serenissima,
utmost artist sought after by the richest and most influential Courts in Europe.
From Ferrara to Urbino, from Mantua to Rome, up to the Spain of Carlos V and his
son Felipe II, Titian crosses his century illuminating it with his works of art, inspiring
artists of the following times. Perfect interpreter of religion and of mythology,
portrayer of immediate expressive strength, he dominates his time outshining his
contemporaries, always abiding by his motto: ‘Art is more powerful than Nature’.

Borromini                                            (working title)

The Dark Side of Baroque
This is the story of a man who deprives himself of everything to pursue a dream: to
conquer Rome. The city where every great artist knows is the place to be. This is the
story of a man at one with his art, with no other ambition than trying to achieve it
by struggling to establish himself. This is the story of an architectural revolution of a
solitary genius who changes the appearance of Rome, through a personal challenge to
conventions and prejudices with the humility to learn from the past in order to invent the
future, with the courage to carry on an idea by paying the price to the end. This is also the
story of the most famous rivalry of all time, the one between Borromini and Bernini, but
above all, it’s the story of Borromini’s rivalry with himself, a genius so tied to his art as to
transform it into a demon that devours him from within, up to pushing himself to choose
death in order to touch eternity.
Waldemar Januszczak: “Basically no one can catch up with him for three hundred years, they forgot Borromini,
when what they should have been doing is remembering him every moment of the ride”.
