Il Mio Paese by Daniele Vicari - 2006, 116’
Presented by Francesco Andreotti
Between 1956 and 1960 one of the greatest documentary makers in the history of cinema, Joris Ivens, made a film called L’Italia è un Paese Povero, commissioned by Enrico Mattei, Presidente of ENI. During a long journey from North to South, Ivens tells the story of industrialisation in a country on the eve of an economic boom. Between 2005 and 2006 Daniele Vicari travelled through Italy in the opposite direction in order to relate a present-day Italy marked by internal economic crisis and the consequent loss of international competitivity.
The film won the David di Donatello for best documentary (2006 - 2007). Entrance €4
