Running time: 55min.
Narrated by Oscar winner Ernest Borgnine, this is a documentary on one of the most famous Italian families of the puppet theater. Shot entirely on location in Parma and its surrounding areas, THE PUPPETEERS combines passionate interviews with the Ferrari family, archival materials and breathtaking cinematography to tell the triumphant yet tragic story of a family’s love affair with an art form in decline. Bernardo Bertolucci grew up with the Ferrari’s puppet’s show and he tell us how he loved to cast them in his film “'900”.
Followed by a Q&A with directors Maurizio Rigamonti and Lura Calder.
