Prolific Italian screenwriter and actor Giuseppe Fiorello has landed his first directorial role with Fireworks (Stranizza d’amuri). 1982 in a sun soaked Sicilian coastal town at the beginning of summer. Two young boys form a friendship that, to them, can move mountains. Gianni (Samuele Segreto) and Nino (Gabriele Pizzurro) attempt to navigate their growing love for each other without shame in the conservative town. When they both start working for Nino’s father, shooting fireworks, suspicions are afoot and their families step in. Wonderfully shot in cinemascope to soften this partly factual story, that birthed Italy’s Arcigay organisation, and tragic love story. Fiorello’s debut feature earned him a Silver Ribbon (Nastro d’argento) for Best New Director.
