From March 4, 2020, Volevo nascondermi (I Wanted to Hide), the biographical film dedicated to Antonio Ligabue (Zurich, 1899 - Gualtieri, 1965) directed by Giorgio Diritti and distributed by 01 Distribution, will be released in Italian cinemas.
Masterfully portraying the Emilian artist nicknamed “El Tudesc” is actor Elio Germano.
The film, which was due to be released in theaters Feb. 27, 2020, was awarded at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival: for the performance Elio Germano was awarded the Silver Bear as best leading actor.
Producers Palomar and Rai Cinema decided to release the film despite this delicate moment for the whole country. In particular, Palomar’s Carlo Degli Esposti said, “We decided to be in theaters with our film at a time when it is essential to overcome the fears generated by a difficult situation that involves our entire society, right down to the movie theaters and the entire world of culture. We chose to release Giorgio Diritti’s film beautifully played by Elio Germano, confident that its success in Berlin will help us defeat anxiety and irrational behavior.”
“Many theaters in important regions are closed by ministerial decree, while others are open but with little possibility of product turnover. The Silver Bear awarded to Elio Germano at the Berlin Film Festival for Volevo nascondermi forced us to reflect carefully and thoroughly, and after consulting with Carlo Degli Esposti, the film’s producer, we decided to throw our hearts over the hurdle and release Giorgio Diritti’s beautiful film on Wednesday, March 4,” added Luigi Lonigro of 01 Distribution.
