The restored version of the Bruno Bozzetto animation classic, 'Allegro non Troppo' gets its US premiere on 27th March.

A short reappraisal of the Italian animation short 'Alpha Omega' by Bruno Bozzetto.

Julia Lewicka speaks with the director of the Oscar-shortlisted film 'Only A Child,' Simone Giampaolo, as part of our Swiss Animation Portrait Series 2022.

Vassilis Kroustallis reports on the 2017 Animanima festival, Serbia.

But the Italian animator states: "I'm not finished yet".

The documentary by Marco Bonfanti about the celebratory Italian animator Bruno Bozzetto will have its world premiere at the 2016 Venice Film Festival.

A  film that claims to feature "Bruno Bozzetto's animals and friends" certainly needs to be seen.

 
The Milan-born Marco Bonfanti,director of The Words of Stockhausen, Ordeal (Inside Me), and the 2011 docufiction The Last Shepherd, undertakes to portray the world of the Oscar-nominated Italian artist, Bruno Bozzetto.

Bozzetto's fame (over 300 feature films, shorts, and commissioned films) lies in his caricature, parody and his sense of restlessly examining otherwise uninteresting surroundings.

 Bozzetto Non Troppo (a pun on the 1977 Bozzetto feature, Allegro non-troppo) promises to be a film about what's inside, behind, before, beneath and in the pockets of Italian animation legend Bruno Bozzetto.

Using both contemporary footage and archival material and, of course, the 79-year-old animation artist as its host, it promises a rather authoritative and interesting cartoon journey.

Bozzetto Non Troppo

Nature, humour, the absurdity of war and the power of ideas are some of the film themes unfolded like a game between the host, director and the audience. The film has been selected to open in the 73rd Venice Film Festival(Venice Classics).

Screenings:  Friday 9 Sep – 5:00 pm – SALA CASINÒ / Saturday 10 September – 11:30 am – Sala Volpi
