Commissioned from Giorgio Ferrara to French director Benoît Jacquot, the film, still in the editing phase, aims to celebrate the Spoleto Festival now in its 60th edition, describing its inimitable international, cosmopolitan and multidisciplinary spirit, always in perfect balance between tradition and contemporaneity. to this project Benoît Jacquot worked in collaboration with documentary filmmaker Gérald Caillat. The film is framed in a historical perspective, leading from the Festival created from Gian Carlo Menotti in 1958 to that of Giorgio Ferrara, who directed the event from ten years. The film's "cheerful" editing is never chronological, and navigates between the present and the past. The filmmakers drew on to a rich archival heritage spanning 60 years of Italian and international culture. Backstage footage, in the city, in churches, in theaters, was shot during the Festival in July 2016. The film's main thread is an interview to Giorgio Ferrara conducted from Benoît Jacquot and filmed to Spoleto in April this year. The film - a French-Italian co-production Idéale Audience / Baires Produzioni /Fondazione Festival dei Due Mondi - benefits from a fund from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the participation of RAI and ARTE TV. Once completed, the film will be presented in its entirety to Spoleto next fall and will be broadcast by RAI and from Arte TV.
