Palladio

Production: Magnitudo Film

Director:Giacomo Gatti

Running Time:98 mins

 

Palladio is a film project dedicated to Andrea Palladio, the architect who, with his work, has become one of the reference points for the most important power buildings in the world. It is a journey to discover Palladio’s ancient world and modern legacy. The New York’s Wall Street Stock-Exchange, U.S. White House and Capitol in Washington D.C. and many other representative buildings were built directly or indirectly following the indications from the master. Indications codified in his written work 450 years ago. It is not a historical or biographical documentary, but a film of a new genre, a documentario di tendenza. Which sees the great architect and his legacy in the contemporary world through the eyes of those who study, live and preserve his work for future generations. In particular, a university teacher in Brussels, Gregorio Carboni Maestri, tries to explain Palladian architecture and theories to his young students of “Generation Z”.

Born in Padua in 1508, the son of a modest family, Palladio began as a simple stonemason, becoming the most beloved and prized architect of the Venetian Republic. Through the study of the magnificent Roman ruins, he reinvented the classical style and forever changed the history of architecture, closing the Renaissance era and opening the Modernity era. A master of proportions as wellas light and matter, he codified the modern agricultural villa, built palaces and churches in harmony with man and nature. His treaty The Four Books of Architecture closed the work of a lifetime and established a universal language that influenced generations of architects around the world.

Dinosaurs

Production: Magnitudo Film

Director:Francesco Invernizzi

Running Time:85 mins

 

Dinosaurs is a scientific documentary that shows what goes behind the scenes during the most recent discoveries of these fascinating prehistoric creatures, the largest ever to have lived on land.

While they are undeniably fascinating for young and old alike, few know that most skeletons exhibited in museums are reconstructions and that the original specimens are few and far between. Where do they come from? Who are the scientists that find and study them? And what processes do they go through before winding up in the locations visited by millions of people each year?

Francesco Invernizzi, director and producer, answers these questions by reconstructing the voyage undertaken by the remains of these extraordinary creatures. This documentary is a true road movie that leads its viewers to discover the mysterious places on our planet that were once home to dinosaurs, and still contain their impressive remains.

This is a story that tells the tale of the spiritual bond between twopeople who never met during their lifetime (Helene Kröller-Müller was 21 when Van Goghdied in 1890), but shared the same attraction for the Absolute, the sameuncompromising search for a pure artistic, religious dimension. Two people with internal worldsdominated by anxiety and torment, which both put into words by writing a vastnumber of letters that were highly crafted works of literature: invaluable sources ofhistorical information and a recurrent feature punctuating the narration of the documentary.

The opportunity to tell the story of howVan Gogh’s art evolved, and about the Helene Kröller-Müller collection, was provided byan exhibition of great importance, Van Gogh.

Between wheat and sky, at the BasilicaPalladiana in Vicenza. It was curated by Art Historian Marco Goldin, and featured 40paintings and 85 drawings from the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Holland, whereHelene’s legacy can be found today.

THE WATER LILIES BY MONET – The magic of water and light

Production: Nexo Digital

Director:Giovanni Troilo

Running Time:94 mins

 

A journey through the masterpieces and obsessions of the Genius of the Impressionism.

With the invaluable contribution of Ross King, author of the best seller Mad Enchantment: Claude Monet and the Painting of the Water Lilies. From Giverny, Musée D’Orsay, Orangerie and Marmottan.

The film let us discover what happened tomake Claude Monet re-emerge from the depression that led him to abandon painting, and see how he decided to devote himself body and soul to his most colossal undertaking: the Grand Décoration. Huge panels depicting his water lily pond, soall-enveloping that the viewer’s gaze is lost in an atmosphere of serenity and peace.

Following the course of the River Seine, starting from Le Havre, where Monet spent the first part of his artistic life, we will goup stream towards the other towns and villages he lived in, to show how innovative, radical and modern his approach to art was and how spasmodic his search for water: Poissy, Argenteuil, Vétheuil, Giverny. Here, in the isolation of his garden, while First World War bombs were falling, Monet obsessively pursued his dream of eternal glory, and relentlessly painted his work of resistance and peace.
