Another story on great cinema.
A documentary on Italian Cinema seen through the eyes of all the
technicians that no one knows.
These are the technicians without which a film could never be made.
This is a “collective monologue” that begins from true-interviews made the group of operators in the industry who is on the smallest steps of the set “working ladder”.
From the top of their 40 year experience, grips, electricians, extras
and more, narrate the hidden stories of one of the most interesting
periods of Italian cinema with a lively and “confidential” narration:
from the Neorealism classics to the big American colossals, from Fellini
to Toto’, from Italian comedy to more “engaging” stories.
Thanks to a fast and introspective cut, the documentary is a trip inside
their memories between interesting facts, on set discussions, comic
scenes along with embarrassing ones….
The film is an involving “poem” that recounts the cinema of the “industry technicians” as their lifestyle. It is a rare “testimony” for all who are passionate about a world that is about to extinguish itself.
The documentary is a tribute to the “old school”, to whoever shares their same passion, and to whoever still would like to dream.
