Director Paolo Sorrentino is producing the debut feature film from Margherita Ferrari, titled Foa. The movie is set to premiere at the Alice nella città film festival.
The film draws inspiration from the G8 summit held in Genoa in 2001. That event is remembered for the widespread protests and the controversial police response that left a lasting impact on Italian society and politics. By focusing on the trauma surrounding the summit, Foa aims to explore the personal and collective wounds inflicted during that period.
Ferrari’s work marks a significant entry in the festival’s lineup, highlighting the ongoing cultural reflection on the events in Genoa. The collaboration between the established director and the emerging filmmaker has drawn attention within the Italian cinema industry as the festival approaches.
