Acting
Welcome behind the scenes of Italian show business from the point of view of those in charge of managing the careers - and lives - of the stars: the agents. Lea, Gabriele, Vittorio and Elvira are the soul of CMA and they give their souls to it, ready for anything to make their stars shine. Managers, friends, confidants and psychologists: a good agent is all that and more. And they, each with their own style, are the best. Between hectic days and mundane nights, it's their personal lives that lose out -- but deep down they have too much fun to notice. With the departure of founder Claudio Maiorana, however, things will get a little more complicated.
New film by Davide Minnella.
Fernanda Wittgens joined the Brera Museum in 1928, and after a few years she was its director. Courageous and visionary, during the war she saved artworks from the bombings, aided political opponents of Fascism and Jewish families in fleeing the regime, and was imprisoned for her actions. After Italy’s liberation, she rebuilt the Brera and championed its being open and accessible to one and all. Yet despite her groundbreaking policies, she was forgotten after her death. This film seizes on that absence. Calling on the actress Sara Drago, who lends her face and voice to Wittgens in her letters, and the art historian Giovanna Ginex, the filmmakers create a collaborative space in which the past, the present, and their interpretations are intertwined. Fernanda, albeit invisible, is a living presence.
