Marina Roberti is the costume designer of the Italian box office hit Sole a Catinelle. She has worked in the Us with the likes of Milena Canonero, Sandy Powell and Dante Ferretti…
How did you become a costume designer?
When I was a kid I was a bumbler at school. I spent all the time drawing and reading. My parents were kind of worried so they decided to enroll me at a fashion college in Turin, my home town. During my last school year they took us to Rome to visit the National Film School. Next year I decided to try and join the school. I thought I could never make it but I did and so I started attending the costume course.
Piero Tosi (costume designer of Il Gattopardo) was one of your teachers in Rome. What did you learn from him?
The most important thing he taught me...

- This year’s N.I.C.E. festival brought to America some interesting films from a diverse group of first time and second time feature length Italian filmmakers. Each filmmaker had his own distinct filmmaking style. If there was a common thread between the films it can be best said by one of the Chairpersons on the Selection Committee, Deborah Young, that these “films are from impassioned young filmmakers who still believe that cinema is all about emotions.” Where are all the patrons you ask? Open the doors and you will find them. Alessandro Tofanelli is a documentary filmmaker whose previous films examined Man’s relationship with Nature. With his first feature length narrative film, Contronatura, he continues to probe that relationship but here it is interwoven with a drama set in the countryside of Pisa. Contronatura is filled with scenic landscapes showing us the beauty of Nature.
