His latest work “Fire at Sea” and a selection of his films, including “Sacro GRA”, are scheduled to be reviewed during the festival.

“Sacro GRA” won the Golden Lion at the 70th Venice International Film Festival in 2013. It was the first time in the history of the festival that the award was presented to a documentary film.
