Alessandro Comodin's 'I giorni felici' at Venice Critics' Week

Alessandro Comodin, born in Udine with a degree from the National Film School of Brussels and studies in Bologna and Paris, has his third film 'I giorni felici verranno presto' selected for a special screening at the Settimana della Critica (Critics' Week) in Venice. The film revisits themes from his previous work 'L'estate di Giacomo', developing them in unpredictable ways. Initially appearing as a documentary due to its raw outdoor imagery shot without artificial light, the film reveals itself as a fable in two movements, contrasting the pursuit of happiness with the precariousness of existence. Comodin drew inspiration from real people and family friends, particularly Dino Selva, a survivor of Siberian labor camps. The director met with the interviewer on the terrace of the Italian Pavilion at the Majestic Hotel.
