  • Damian Pettigrew, Inside Italo (Lo specchio di Calvino, 2012). Co-produced by ARTE France, Italy's Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali, and the National Film Board of Canada, the recently completed feature-length docufiction stars Neri Marcorè as the Italian writer. Slated for a 2013 international release, the film also uses in-depth conversations videotaped at Calvino's Rome penthouse a year before his death in 1985 and rare footage from RAI, INA (Institut national de l'audiovisuel), and BBC television archives.

Famous quotes containing the words films and/or calvino:

    “Does art reflect life? In movies, yes. Because more than any other art form, films have been a mirror held up to society’s porous face.”
    —Marjorie Rosen (b. 1942)

    “The catalogue of forms is endless: until every shape has found its city, new cities will continue to be born. When the forms exhaust their variety and come apart, the end of cities begins.”
    —Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
