HBF PICTURES DEBUT WITH THE FILM “HUMANISM! A NEW COMEDY”

On the first of April 2017 the Pictures division of Hoffman, Barney & Foscari Ltd –

Born just two months before at the same time as the company in London – launched the feature film “Humanism! A New Comedy”, a film written and directed by Glauco Della Sciucca and presented by Sir Michael Lindsay – Hogg, with the music composed and conducted by Piero Umiliani (The usual suspects and hundreds of other soundtracks). A film, which its author maintains “… gives off vaguely an old fashioned taste, a sixties style, really fast, satirical, surreal like an old story from the New Yorker magazine…” whose clothing is intentionally essential, really elegant intensely black and white and whose cast is naturally International: from Great Britain comes in fact Huw Parmenter (directly from the TV series “Vikings”), Beth Lockhart (the rising star of English Theatre), the American Randall Paul (“Eyes Wide Shut”, Four Weddings and a Funeral”, “Mission Impossible”) from Italy Enrica Guidi  (I Delitti del Barlume, Sky),  Saverio Raimondo (probably the most important Italian stand-up comedian working on Comedy Central), Ezio Budini (Hazy Night by Harold Pinter,  Astaroth by Stefano Benni), Paolo Fosso (Il Banchiere Anarchico and other films like Marquise”, with Sophie Marceau), Lorena Antonioni (Donnavventura), Roberto Pedicini (the celebrated Italian dubber of actors like Jim Carey, Denzel Washington, John Turturro and many others), Veronique Vergari (“Il Sogno” by Strindberg, Jesce Sole by Kadour Naimi). “Humanism! A New Comedy” had as an associate producer the Fondazione Pescarabruzzo and Gestioni Culturali srl. The producers for HBF were Giovanni Iannelli, Alessandro Addari, Ivano Lapergola. The film, as well as HBF, supports (also through certain themes developed within the film) Meat Free Monday, the campaign launched by Paul, Stella and Mary McCartney.
