La voglia matta di vivere
Pupi Avati, la tavola racconta
Vorrei sparire senza morire
Sé stesso
About love and death: starting from the small cemetery in San Leo, where many of his loved ones are buried, Pupi Avati opens his heart. It's a heady mix of a little cinema, a little music, and a lot of living; a journey across time; and a backward glance at a master Italian filmmaker's closest ties, his ghosts and memories snatches of an autobiography interwoven with our collective memory.

The annual film festival in Venice is, of course, an ideal place to make a film (how come no-one has thought of it before). Everything is there in Pupi Avati's Festival: the famous hotels Des Bain and Excelsior on the Lido, the shimmering sandy beach which captivated Visconti. The film was made last spring and exploits the presence of passing film stars such as Jack Nicholson. We see the hysterical press conferences, where journalists and experts ask intelligent questions-without listening to the answers.
