The U.K. sales company Impronta Films has acquired worldwide rights for “Canone Effimero,” the newest creation by Italian twin directors Gianluca and Massimiliano De Serio, before its global debut at the Berlin Film Festival.
The De Serio siblings gained international recognition through their immigration-themed drama, “Seven Acts of Mercy,” which created quite a stir upon its premiere at the Locarno Film Festival in 2011. Following this success, the twin directors presented a documentary titled “River Memories” at Venice in 2016, focusing on one of Europe’s largest shanty towns situated along the river Stura in Turin. Most recently, they directed “The Stonebreaker,” a film depicting an exploited laborer in Southern Italy struggling to raise his young son following the unexpected demise of the child’s mother.
The temporary installation titled ‘Canone Effimero,’ set to debut from Berlin’s Forum area, showcases an untold aspect of Italy’s cultural milieu. This work delves into regions where oral histories, narratives, and music continue to thrive. It provides viewers with a unique peek into a social tapestry that persists despite the onslaught of cultural standardization. The promotional literature characterizes this production as not merely a documentary, but an energizing, participatory event that honors Italy’s living traditions.
Ana Saiz, head of acquisitions at Impronta, expressed her excitement about showcasing ‘Canone Effimero,’ an enchanting cinematic expedition through Italy’s vibrant folk customs. The De Serio brothers skillfully portray the essence of regional music in this production, seamlessly integrating raw passion with awe-inspiring vistas.
The “Canone Effimero” agreement signifies the second teamwork between Alessandro Borrelli, De Serio’s regular producer, and La Sarraz Pictures, following the purchase of Ulises de la Orden’s “The Trial” by Impronta. This film premiered at Berlin in 2023.
