Giornate degli Autori celebrates Ugo Pirro

In the year of his centenary, Giornate degli Autori dedicates the 2020 edition to Ugo Pirro, ANAC founder, author and screenwriter, intending to celebrate not only the award-winning screenwriter at the Venice Film Festival but also the role, as essential as a director or actor to the success of a film but much less visible.
Responsible for many critically-lauded masterpieces including The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, Investigation of a Citizen above suspicion, We Still Kill the Old Way, and twice nominated for screenwriting Academy Awards, Ugo Pirro will be commemorated at a discussion featuring Andrea Purgatori, screenwriter and Giornate President, Giorgio Gosetti, Giornate General Delegate, Francesco R. Martinotti, ANAC President, Nicola Acunzo, President of the Cinema and Entertainment cross-party group at the Chamber of Deputies and Donata Carelli, screenwriter and author of the biography “Ugo Pirro. La scrittura del conflitto” which will be presented at the event. Guests expected to intend include Marina Cigogna, producer of Investigation of a Citizen above suspicion and Lulu the Tool.
