Workshop with Andrea Gambetta

The new documentary by Wim Wenders Pope Francis: The Man of His Word was shown on the fifth day of Kustendorf. After the screening, Andrea Gambetta, the producer of the film, held a workshop for the guests of the Festival. Gambetta has a long history with the Festival and with profesor Emir Kusturica. He was a member of the jury in the first year of Kustendorf, and is guilty, as professor Kusturica said, for the forming of No Smoking Orchestra. Also, Gambetta was a producer on Kusturica’s first documentary film Super 8 Stories (2001). The conversation about the film Pope Francis: The Man of His Word sparked a number of issues. Gambetta emphasized that this documetary was the first time the Vatican used the mеdium of film to speak directly to the world.
