The auteur programme by Pyotr Shepotinnik serves as a retrospective of the documentary filmmaker Mario Canali’s work over the past decade. His documentary studies focus on Marco Ferreri, Gillo Pontecorvo, Vittorio De Sica and the Taviani brothers. Additionally, the programme includes a film dedicated to the legacy of American director Douglas Sirk, whose work profoundly influenced many European filmmakers, most notably Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Sirk’s films defied the conventions of Hollywood cinema during the 1940s and 1950s.
