Ritorno al presente, il cortometraggio commedia sul mondo social è al primo ciak

The first take on 6 October 2021, filming has begun on Ritorno al presente by Max Nardari produced by his production company Reset Production. The cast includes Daniela Poggi, Attilio Fontana and Clizia Fornasier protagonists of a short film made with the Veneto Regional Fund “POR FESR – 3.3.2 2020” (2014-2021). (2014-2021) and filmed in the splendid setting of Vittorio Veneto. Originally from Padua, he lived in Treviso for many years and has now moved to Rome. Max Nardari returns to his homeland to make a short film – in the triple role of author, director and producer – that ironically tackles the drama of incommunicability in our times.

“We wanted,” he explains, “to emphasise that although social and new technologies represent the challenge of the future, they risk being harmful if not managed properly, both by adults and young people.” In a comparison between past and present, the authors, thanks also to the professionalism and irony of the three protagonists Daniela Poggi, Attilio Fontana and Clizia Fornasier, invite us to reflect on issues such as privacy and addiction to social networks that are increasingly leading to depressive and compulsive symptoms.
Max Nardari and co-author Fausto Petronzio have always paid particular attention to social issues such as homophobia, racism (the film Diversamente), female solidarity, intercultural dialogue, family breakdown (the film La mia famiglia a soqquadro) and adoption (the short film Uno di noi), always tackling them with the fresh and immediate language of comedy. Their works have always had great visibility, winning numerous national and international festivals, and have been distributed by Rai Cinema for the style and cinematographic language proposed, with particular reference to innovativeness. The film La mia famiglia a soqquadro, among other things, was premiered on Rai 1 in prime time on 7 September 2021 obtaining almost two million ratings. Max Nardari’s latest film Diversamente, released in May 2021, can be seen exclusively on the Chili platform.
