SPOTLIGHT ON CANNES 2021: DIRECTORS' FORTNIGHT — FUTURA —Marcello / Munzi / Rohrwacher

FUTURA

"Futura is a truly collective work, where collectiveness is at the service of a whole project. It explores what boys and girls from 15 to 20 think about the future, through a series of interviews filmed during a long journey across Italy. It is a portrait of the country, as seen through the eyes of a group of teens who talk about the places they live in, their dreams, expectations, desires and fears."

"Born in 1976, Pietro Marcello studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts, before directing his first films. He was selected and awarded at numerous international festivals. La bocca del lupo (2009) was awarded at the Berlinale. In 2019, Luca Marinelli was awarded the Coppa Volpi for his role in Martin Eden."

"Born in 1969, after studying political science, Francesco Munzi graduated in directing from the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome. Saimir, his first film, was awarded in Venice. His next films were presented in many international festivals."

"Alice Rohrwacher graduated from the University of Turin in Literature and Philosophy. At the age of 29, she directed her first film, Corpo Celeste, presented at the Directors’ Fortnight. It was followed by Le meraviglie, grand prix du Jury in Cannes and Lazzaro felice, prize for screenplay in Cannes in 2018."
