FESTA MOBILE/ARTISTS PORTRAITS

IL VIAGGIO DI CARLO

IL VIAGGIO DI CARLO
by Daniele Segre
Country: Italy
Year: 2014
Duration: 30'


A film dedicated to the actor Carlo Colnaghi, fifteen years after his death in Turin on July 12, 1999. His artistic collaboration with Daniele Segre resulted in two films, the video Tempo di riposo (1991) and the feature-length Manila Paloma Blanca (1992), which was invited to the Venice Film Festival that same year. Colnaghi’s train trip to Venice for the festival is the starting point to illustrate the man and the actor through the personal and artistic journey he began with Segre years earlier.

Declaration

film director

“I met Colnaghi when Testadura was presented in Venice in 1983; it was the beginning of an authentic relationship of collaboration and friendship. Colnaghi lived with great difficulty and pain; a former actor, he had been a patient of the psychiatric services and he came to me to return to acting. After hearing his true story, he and I developed a very important and strong tie, which allowed me to begin a program of re-education of his acting talent, with the invaluable support of his psychiatrist, Luciano Sorrentino.”
