Roberto Minervini

The poetic realist of contemporary cinema, Roberto Minervini, was born in 1970 in Fermo, Italy, and has been active in the film industry since the early 2000s. Known for his raw, unfiltered look at American society, his main genres include documentary and drama, with his most notable films being "The Other Side" and "What You Gonna Do When the World's on Fire?," both of which have received critical acclaim at major film festivals. His authorial style is characterized by a blend of fiction and documentary, often featuring non-actors, which gives his films a unique, realistic depth.

Minervini, with his empathetic lens and keen sense of observation, captures the grit and grace of human life in a way few other directors can.
