Daria D’Antonio stated: “We owe a great debt of gratitude to those who gave us the tools (…) We must look to young people with immense curiosity, and we have much to learn from their way of “being within things”. The perspective of the new generations is important. ». D’Antonio also spoke about her work on the film Primavera by Damiano Michieletto, shot with Sony’s VENICE 2.
Also attending the event was a delegation from Collettivo Chiaroscuro, which emphasised the importance of the technology industry in fostering innovation in creative processes within cinematography. “What matters to us is a productive dialogue with the industry, and that is precisely what Sony is seeking as well.”
