MUSICANTI CON LA PIANOLA

Italy, 2024
Director: Jakob Höhne
Duration: 113′

Pivio and Aldo De Scalzi retrace over twenty-five years of their career as film composers in a dialogue with friends, colleagues, and director Matteo Malatesta. The conversation serves as a pretext to narrate the evolution of an art still mysterious to many. Journeys across Italy and encounters with key figures in Italian cinema outline the artistic and professional path of two Genoese outsiders. From Genoa, a “cinematic” city and the story’s focal point, they find themselves almost by chance catapulted into the complex universe of the seventh art.
