We are really glad to announce that one of the creative projects we support has been selected for the 80th International Venice Film Festival !
DARIO ARGENTO PANICO is a documentary that traces the artistic and personal history of Dario Argento, one of the most iconic Italian directors of all time, while Dario Argento himself is writing his new film. It is directed by Simone Scafidi and written by Manlio Gomarasca, Giada Mazzoleni, Davide Pulici, and Simone Scafidi. APE staff and our mighty ambassador Sara Testaferri helped researching the amazing archival footage featured in the film.
PANICO will be presented in the Venezia Classici section, which features restored classics of the history of cinema and documentaries about cinema - if you plan to attend the film festival or if you are in Venice in early September, it's a must-see !
