Matteo Garrone’s refugee drama Io Capitano, an Oscar nominee this year for Italy in the best international feature category, was the big winner of this year’s 2024 David Di Donatello Awards, Italy’s equivalent to the Oscars, winning best film and director for Garrone.
Io Capitano also picked up prizes for best cinematography, editing, sound, and visual effects.
Paola Cortellesi’s There’s Still Tomorrow, a black-and-white feminist dramedy that became the top-grossing film in Italy last year, won Cortellesi the Donatello honors for best actress, directorial debut, and original script for the screenplay she co-wrote with Furio Andreotti and Giulia Calenda.
“I want to thank those who gave me the opportunity to write this role as I wanted it,” she said, accepting her actress honor.

Just when The Bad Guy tried to get out, Amazon pulled him back in.
Amazon Prime Video on Wednesday unveiled a second season order for the Italian crime series, starring Luigi Lo Cascio and Claudia Pandolfi, which has been a hit with audiences and critics.
Stefano Accorsi (Italian Race) will join the cast for season 2, alongside returning cast members including Selene Caramazza, Giulia Maenza and Antonio Catania. Season 2 shot on location in Lazio, Emilia Romagna and Sicily.
Lo Cascio stars in The Bad Guy as Nino Scotellaro, an incorruptible Sicilian public prosecutor who is imprisoned on false accusations of collusion with the mafia. Once inside, he decides to pull off a Machiavellian revenge plan, embracing the “bad guy” image that has been forced upon him.

Francesca Cima’s office at Indigo Film is adonred in Beatles memorabilia. There’s a black and white photo of John, Paul, George and Ringo, a John Lennon Russian doll, a music anthology. Is Cima a Beatles maniac?
“It’s Nicola, actually,” says Cima, “we shared this office for years. It ended up rubbing off on me. We should probably do a division of assets.”
The Fab Four might have pride of place but Indigo’s headquarters in Rome, appropriately, is adorned with posters of the many films and series Cima and co-founders Nicola Giuliano and Carlotta Calori have made over the years, as well as the numerous awards won for them, including the Oscar and BAFTA for Paolo Sorrentino’s The Great Beauty.

You could call the 40 executives on THR‘s inaugural International Women in Entertainment — Film list “the survivors.” As seismic disruptions rocked the indie world, from Covid shutdowns to the decimation of the special cinema market, these women have found a way to secure the money and the partners to keep making the stories they care about — often told by filmmakers from ignored or underrepresented groups — and get them out to the audiences that love them, worldwide. In a business that lionizes ego, these bosses — some who run pan-national mini-studios, others who oversee boutique operations with a handful of employees — have made an art out of collaboration, understanding that only by pooling their resources, by co-producing, co-financing or distributing one another’s movies, and by mentoring and encouraging young (often female) filmmakers, can the polyglot world of international indie cinema survive.

Exclusive: Newen Connect CEO Rodolphe Buet is happy to be back in person at the Berlinale’s European Film Market after the three-year Covid-19 hiatus.
“It’s fun to be in Berlin. When I started in the industry in 2005, my first market was Berlin with Studiocanal,” he says.
In the interim, Buet rose through the Studiocanal ranks to become president of distribution and marketing from 2015 to 2017, overseeing the rollout strategies for Paddington and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy among other major films.
He was appointed CEO of Paris-based Newen Connect in 2020, piloting its creation in the wake of TF1’s 100 acquisition of Newen Studios out of the merger of their distribution arms TF1 Studio, Newen Distribution and Reel One International.
He has spent the last three years steadily putting in place a structure in step with the convergence between the audiovisual and cinema worlds, appointing Leona Connell as Chief Commercial Officer...

With Italy gradually lifting some lockdown restrictions, local film and TV producers are busy drafting safety protocols to start shooting again, with June targeted as the start of the industry’s road map to recovery.
With close to 30,000 deaths, Italy has the second deadliest coronavirus outbreak in Europe, behind the U.K., but is now flattening the curve. On May 4, it entered its so-called “phase two” with some workplaces reopening.
The same day, the central Lazio region, which is the Italian industry’s main hub comprising Rome and Cinecittà Studios, announced that productions could start up again, prompting some premature trumpeting in local media that physical production of films and TV series has already restarted. However, the reality of reviving production is a far more complicated picture.

Italy’s Indigo Film, the production company behind Oscar-winner “The Great Beauty,” is in advanced stages on a TV series for the global marketplace titled “A Marriage” that intends to put the narrative of a painful divorce involving custody of a child under a microscope.

Focus Features has acquired Italian rights to Paolo Sorrentino’s Loro (Them) starring Toni Servillo (pictured) as Silvio Berlusconi, the controversial and larger-than-life former prime minister, Mediaset founder and former AC Milan owner.

It is understood the project will centre on Berlusconi and his entourage. Nicola Giuliano, Francesca Cima, and Carlotta Calori serve as producers.

Directors: Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza
Writers: Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza
Directors Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza won the Grand Prize at 2013 Critics Week for their debut, Salvo. The duo received funding for their sophomore feature, Sicilian Ghost Story in April, 2015, and have remained mostly tight-lipped about the actual narrative, confirming it’s based on a Sicilian fairy tale and will have minimalist supernatural aspects concerning two young people in love. Details surrounding production have been minimal, although casting was supposedly underway in October, 2015.

Here, there, and everywhere, awards are being handed out left and right, and the latest shower of honors to the year's best in the film comes from the European Film Awards. Over the weekend the trophies were handed out, and one movie that hasn't really been in the conversation stateside came out on top. Paolo Sorrentino's "Youth" won Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor at the ceremony. That's a nice trifecta for the picture. And it was a night of double awards with Charlotte Rampling winning Best Actress for "45 Years" in addition to taking home a Lifetime Achievement Award, and Michael Caine adding to his Best Actor win with an Honorary Award. No real big shocks or upsets as far as I can see, but if you think someone got overlooked, let us know in the comments section. Full list of winners below.

Paolo Sorrentino’s Youth was the big winner at this year’s 28th European Film Awards on Saturday night in Berlin, taking home the top honour for European Film 2015 as well as the awards for European Director and European Actor.
These awards came only two years after Sorrentino’s previous film The Great Beauty bagged the same clutch of awards (plus Best European Editor) at the corresponding event.
Michael Caine was visibly moved when he came on stage to accept the European Actor trophy for his portrayal of an elderly composer and conductor. “It’s been 50 years and I’ve never won an award in Europe, and I’ve now won two in one evening,” the veteran actor quipped.

New umbrella industry event to unfold in Ancient Roman baths
The Rome Film Festival has unveiled its new International Audiovisual Market (Mia), extending its industry focus from film to TV series, documentaries and videogames.
The new event, running Oct 16-20 alongside the festival, will take place in the city’s Baths of Diocletian.
“For the first time we will cover all the audiovisual sectors, films, TV, documentary and video games,” said Andreas Occipinti of Lucky Red.
“The focus is on two activities, finished productions and encouraging co-productions involving Italian producers as minority partners,” he added.
“In a world where all medias are converging and youngsters don’t necessarily distinguish between formats, bringing all the audiovisual sectors together makes absolute sense,” said producer Francesca Cima of Indigo Film.
The new market will not have stands but rather will revolve around screendings debates, conferences and workshops and meetings for international co-productions.

The Wait
Director: Piero Messina // Writers: Piero Messina, Ilaria Macchia, Andrea Paolo Massara, Giacomo Bendotti
Piero Messina previously served as Assistant Director on Paolo Sorrentino’s 2013 film, The Great Beauty. He makes his directorial debut with The Wait and snagged none other than Juliette Binoche to headline his vehicle. Initially we were none to thrilled with up and coming ingénue Lou de Laage, who first landed a notable role in Daniele Thompson’s insipid It Happened in Saint Tropez (2013), but we were more impressed in her more psychologically unnerving turn in Melanie Laurent’s Breathe, which premiered at Cannes in this year’s Critics’ Week. Seasoned Italian vet Giacomo Bendotti (a supporting player in Sorrentino’s 2008 Il Divo) rounds out that cast in a narrative that concerns a mother unexpectedly meeting her son’s fiancée at a villa in Sicily and gets to know her as she waits for her son to arrive.

"The Great Beauty," Paolo Sorrentino's splashy valentine to Roman high society, was the most lauded foreign-language film of the last awards season -- it ruled the European Film Awards, and scooped Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs and Oscars. (At all but the last of these, it beat out its Cannes conqueror, "Blue is the Warmest Color.") So you'd think it'd be a shoo-in at Italy's own Academy Awards, right? Wrong. At yesterday's David di Donatello Awards, handed out annually by the Academy of Italian Cinema, Sorrentino's film was the night's biggest winner in terms of numbers -- taking nine awards, including Best Director and Best Actor for Toni Servillo. But its other wins were limited to below-the-line categories -- trust the Italians to have separate awards for Best Makeup and Best Hairstyling -- as Paolo Virzi's "Human Capital" took Best Picture. Virzi's film, a blend...

Here we are again after the Golden Globes, Mike Fleming and Anita Busch taking on the task of play by play during the most wide-open Oscar race we can remember. Even on the party circuit, industry insiders who usually have a grasp of who’ll walk away with Oscars were evenly torn between Alfonso Cuaron’s 3D masterpiece Gravity and Steve McQueen’s 12 Years A Slave. Then again, there were so many terrific films that got Best Picture nominations, and all of them have at least a puncher’s chance at an upset. Related: Oscars: Pete Hammond’s Absolute Final Predictions That includes American Hustle, where David O Russell co-wrote the Best Original Script nominee with Eric Warren Singer and got tour de force performances and nominations for Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Perfs so strong there was no room on the nomination roster for perennial Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner.

Anyway, the big winners turned out to be Gravity, which snared six gongs, American Hustle, which got three,...
