Tommaso Romanelli's Docufilm on Father's Atlantic Disappearance Opens Rome Film Fest
Tommaso Romanelli's debut documentary 'No more trouble – Cosa rimane di una tempesta' opens the Panorama Italia section of Alice nella Città at the 2024 Festa del Cinema di Roma (running until October 27). The film reconstructs the story of his father, Andrea Romanelli, a renowned Italian sailboat designer who disappeared at sea in 1998 while attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean with Giovanni Soldini. Tommaso, aged 4 at the time, discovered his father's video diaries on old cassettes, which became the core of the documentary. The film also documents the restoration of Andrea's boat American Express, abandoned in a shipyard in Monfalcone, undertaken with his uncle Marco. The documentary will be released in Italian cinemas by Tucker Film.
