DOCDOC 10 anni di cinema e di altre storie
Ten years of film and television told by Gianfranco Pannone, for the magazine the documentario.it. Reflections, critical notes, reviews, without ever forget that the “cinema of reality” also feeds on culture, history, politics, as well as the life of every day. The eye of the author moves along a difficult decade but always fascinating, that of the early 2000s.
