Cartapesta: Carnival of Fano – The Movie
Italy’s oldest Carnival, memories, footages, a very powerful imagery rooted over the centuries in one city: Fano. A tradition, that of papier-mâché, and its float masters who, generation after generation, have been able to blend creativity, engineering and manual skills to build those traveling stages called floats. A character, named Vulón, encountering a child. He doesn’t know anything about the Carnival of Fano. No one better than a Carnival mask to walk him around through parades, costumes and sweets and to tell him that after all, Carnival is more than a simple celebration: it’s a feeling, a state of mind that warms the heart of a city and of the territory around. And while the carnival week is getting to an end, somebody is up and ready for a new beginning…
Cast: Simone Diotallevi, Edoardo Davide Pignataro
