Ali has blue eyes is the second feature of young Roman director Claudio Giovannesi, who’s a musician too (he’s the composer for his own film). Claudio had the idea for this film while shooting a previous documentary, Fratelli d’Italia, in which he showed everyday life of three teenager representing three types of “new Italians”: three children of immigrates. Alin, from Romania, Masha from Bielorussia, and Nader, grown up in Italy from an Egyptian family. Claudio enjoyed so much the real story of the Nader in particularly who decided to write a film starting from Nader’s real life and asked him and his family to play themselves. It’s powerful, authentic street cinema, beuatifully shot from d.o.p. Daniele Ciprì. Won best direction at the Rome film festival and was shown at Tribeca too.
