The Piranesi Slate

ended

The Piranesi Slate consists of 3 projects in development which are 2 feature films and 1 feature documentary plus a shortfilm by an emerging director. All the projects are set up as international coproduction with European countries (Greece, Lithuania, Spain and France). DREAMCATCHERS is a medical thriller about sleep disorders, one of the main consequences of the pandemic. HOTEL TEMPUS is a dark-academia teen feature about the importance of time and the search for one's identity. TIRRENICA is an observational documentary about the parallel and hidden life of E45 which is among the longest European highway. PINOCCHIO REBORN is a dark comedy short film by an emerging U35 director that brings one of the most famous and recognizable European icons into the present. The Piranesi Slate' projects offer a new and fresh point of view on key topics for European' contemporary debate such as social issues, sustainable development and gender equality. All the projects have a confirmed support of more than 50% of the development budget and have already been selected in major development laboratories and markets in 2022 (Biennale Cinema College, MFI Script2Film and Agorà Thessaloniki among others). As well as allowing us to close the development budget of the 3 projects, the support of MEDIA Slate is of great importance to foster the competitiveness and the economic weight of The Piranesi Experience, an independent Italian production company founded in 2014 by former students of Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia with headquarters in southern Italy (Apulia).
