Bernini documentary to screen in Italian cinemas as part of new art film series
A new cycle of art documentaries titled 'L'Arte al Cinema' will be distributed in Italian cinemas from autumn 2018 to spring 2019 by Magnitudo and Chili. The series kicks off on November 12, 13, and 14 with a feature-length film on Gian Lorenzo Bernini, focusing on the exhibition dedicated to him at the Galleria Borghese in Rome nearly a year earlier. The documentary, directed by Francesco Invernizzi, uses high-quality footage and contributions from experts including Galleria Borghese director Anna Coliva and art critic Luigi Ficacci to celebrate the Baroque artist and explore the creation of his monumental sculptural groups.
