Domenico Distilo

In 2009, he joined the production company Sciara, where he works as director and producer. In 2011, he directed two documentaries for RAI 3, the Italian cultural public channel: Urban extremes - Jerusalem (Estremi urbani, Gerusalemme), on the territorial conflict in Jerusalem and Romany imaginary - Minority artists (Immaginario Rom - Artisti Contro), on Romany art in Hungary. Distilo's works generally focus on social issues, with a special interest in various forms of contemporary art. In his movie Deep time (Margini di sottosuolo) (2011), he explored the boundaries between documentary and fiction with a story on archeology and the feelings that bound people to their past. In 2018 his documentary Manga Do, Igort and the way of the manga won the audience award at the Biografilm Festival in Bologna. The film tells the journey of Igort, one of the most important Italian graphic novel authors, in the founding places of Japanese culture. The film follows a previous reportage, Igort, the secret landscape (2013), which tells the story of Igort's search for the creation of his trilogy on the Soviet Union.
