Spettacolo

Spettacolo (2017)

Once upon a time, villagers in a tiny hill town in Tuscany came up with a remarkable way to confront their issues: they turned their lives into a play. Every summer, their piazza became their stage and residents of all ages played a part – the role of themselves. Monticchiello’s annual tradition has attracted worldwide attention and kept the town together for 50 years, but with an aging population and a future generation more interested in Facebook than farming, the town’s 50th–anniversary performance just might be its last. SPETTACOLO tells the story of Teatro Povero di Monticchiello, interweaving episodes from its past with its modern-day process as the villagers turn a series of devastating blows into a new play about the end of their world.

Curiosidades

Spettacolo is a 2017 documentary film about a small hilltown in Italy that practices a unique form of theatre called "autodrama". It is the second feature of Marwencol filmmakers Jeff Malmberg and Chris Shellen, made through their production company, Open Face. The title is an Italian word meaning "performance, spectacle, or play" and in Italian is pronounced ("spet-TAH-kō-lō").

Production

The film was shot in Tuscany in Italy between 2012 and 2016, using a Sony EX-1 camera and a portable Zoom audio recorder. The crew of Malmberg and Shellen lived in Monticchiello for six months in 2012 to make the film. They involved the town in their editorial process, showing several rough cuts of the film to the townspeople for feedback.
