Vinicio Marchioni's 'Il terremoto di Vanja' premieres on Sky Arte

Vinicio Marchioni's documentary 'Il terremoto di Vanja' airs on Sky Arte on September 5, 2021. The film follows Marchioni's theatrical adaptation of Anton Chekhov's 'Uncle Vanya' and its tour through Italian earthquake-stricken regions, including Onna, Poggio Picenze, L'Aquila, and the Marche province. Over two years of filming in major Italian theaters and ten days in Russia, Marchioni explores the tragicomic lens of Chekhov to examine Italy's post-earthquake inertia. The documentary features contributions from Toni Servillo (voicing Chekhov), Andrei Konchalovsky, Gabriele Salvatores, and Fausto Malcovati. It alternates between color and black-and-white footage, blending genres and languages to connect theatrical work, earthquake sites, and Chekhov's world.
