Director’s notes:

Is a visual and intimate immersion into the world of comics. The use of close-up shots accentuates the physicality of the creative process, focusing on faces, hands, and tools. The lighting underscores the atmosphere of each setting: the intimacy of work, the energy of comic book stores, the warmth of homes. Interviews, conducted with the artist looking into the camera, create a direct dialogue with the viewer. The alternation between reflective moments and dynamic activity keeps interest alive, offering a holistic vision of contemporary comics.

Production notes:

“Generazione Fumetto” combines interviews with seven renowned Italian cartoonists, filmed in intimate and meaningful locations. The production requires careful coordination to shoot in different environments, each with specific lighting and equipment needs. Editing, essential in creating an engaging flow, unites the voices of the artists into a single chorus. Attention to sound and music, and strategic distribution complete this project that illuminates the importance of comics as an art form and expressive medium.
