Overview

A Futurist documentary on Futurism, "Art/Life: The Futurist Revolution" follows the creation of the Futurist art movement in early 20th century Italy as it was dreamed up by Filippo Marinetti following a driving accident. The documentary features reenactments, commentary from scholars and critics, and as of yet unpublished archival images and artworks. Verdone incorporates into his documentary the stylistic elements of speed, dynamism, simultaneity, technology, and modernity which inspired the Futurism movement in its many manifestos on all elements of artistic and everyday life.

Depero: Rovereto, New York and Other Stories is the first documentary film focused on the artist from Trentino, Fortunato Depero. The film investigates the figure of a man who was able to go beyond the codified circuits of the art world: his work ranges from painting to theater, from set design to photography, the applied arts to opera on radio, publishing and advertising design. Fortunato Depero was rediscovered in the late seventies and re-evaluated in the nineties thanks to the attention dedicated to him by some scholars and the keen interest of his works by French and American audiences who saw in him the most significant artist of the Futurist movement.
