Giovanni Maderna
Giovanni Davide Maderna (born 1973) is an Italian film director.
In 1995 Maderna directed his first short film, La Place, in Lyon, France, equal winner at Nanni Moretti's Sacher Festival.[1] After a few other shorts in 1999 his first feature film This is the garden (Questo è il giardino) won the Luigi De Laurentiis Prize for Best Debut Film at Venice Film Festival. Then he directed Imperfect Love (L'amore imperfetto). With his films Schopenhauer (2006) and four years later Heaven without Earth, he started a season in quest of a deep renovation of cinematographic language. He founded the production company Quarto Film in 2007 and works with authors such as Francesco Gatti, Dario Buccino, Filippo Ticozzi, Sara Pozzoli, Mauro Santini, Tonino De Bernardi e Giovanni Cioni. He dedicated in 2005 a video-interview (conducted with Antonio Moresco) to the great Italian experimental film-maker Alberto Grifi.
