Il regista / The Director

o Bozzetto was only 20 years old made his first short-lenght film Tapum la storia delle armi. His most famous character is the satiric Sig. Rossi. He has also directed and produced three full-lenght cartoons to international acclaim: West and soda (1965), Vip, mo fratello superuomo (1967), Allegro ma non troppo (1976). Bozzetto believes animation to have vast potential as a form of expression, potential that does not stop at child audience but which can illustrate the satirical, poetic and comical  for adulst too. And this convinction has been confirmed in his many international award-winning short-lenght films of great cultural content.

CinemAmniente has selected 8 short-lenght films of this important project about education directed by Alessandro Belli and Bruno Bozzetto, among the dedicated to enviroment and sustainable developement ones.

"Development is said to be sustainable when it respects nature and enviroment. Sustainable development is an important and difficult issue today: important because our chances of improving enviromental conditions depend on the decisions and behaviour we adopt now and in the future; difficult because even though they concern a growing number of people, enviromental problems are often preceived as too far removed to regard us personally, as something to be addressed by governments and public authorities, as something that does not involve us or our personal lives."
