Giorgio Diritti
The Discovery of the Birth of a Film
Beginning with Il vento fa il suo giro and by way of L’uomo che verrà, Giorgio Diritti reflects on what drove him to make his most recent film starring Jasmine Trinca, Un giorno devi andare. The discovery of the Amazon thanks to the making of a documentary becomes the start of a journey, not just through the spectacular beauty of nature, the simplicity and kindness of the natives, the infinite expansion of time, but also through a search within oneself, in search of a spirituality that encourages us to wonder about the role of human beings and investigate the meaning of the “other”. An outer and inner voyage that is at the same time an escape and rebirth from pain, and that brings with it new encounters, sharing and hope.
