Event #18
Giuseppe Piccioni
How a film is made: plots, places and characters
How is a film made? Which journey does the director take in conceiving it? How are characters created and placed in a historical context? What is the relationship between reality and fiction? And how dynamic should the director’s gaze be? Starting from the emotional places which inspire the writing of a film – a sort of map where the external world represents the inner landscape – Giuseppe Piccioni describes the work of the director as the ability to make choices and to get to the end of the film with as few regrets as possible about the choices made.
