SUNDAY, JULY 8 7:30 PM
TUESDAY, JULY 31 10 PM (Q AND A WITH NICOLA GUARNERI)
What am I then? I come from a working class family, poor, if not abjectly poor. I instinctively chose to side with the workers. Circumstances led me to become a filmmaker. Which circumstances? The hundreds and thousands of films I saw and loved. The fact that the poor become boxers, or popular musicians, or filmmakers. The fact that film was, in those days, a popular art form. Elio Petri
This straightforward documentary winds through Petris career, guided by interviews with actors, directors, critics, and collaborators including his widow Paola. Its an excellent introduction to Petris films as well as their intersections with financial supporters, the public, and the broader political context. Ennio Morricone tells a story of Petri putting the wrong score to a film as a prank, which even in the retelling is deeply emotional.
