Presented at the Giornate degli Autori in 2019, Scherza con i fanti (Joking with Infantrymen) by Pannone and Sparagna, one of the most successful documentaries of the year, is being released on DVD. The tragicomic tale of the Italians’ long and often conflicted relationship with the military, an ode to peace with a wealth of music, stories and images, returns at a time when the world is dealing with an unexpected and unpredictable war where we are all called to defend ourselves and join together.
The authors – the director/musician partnership Gianfranco Pannone and Ambrogio Sparagna – discuss the documentary with Giorgio Gosetti, General Delegate of Giornate degli Autori and Enrico Bufalini, Director of Archivio Luce.
