Sono molto orgoglioso che il lungometraggio di animazione "La violinista" che ho prodotto con Altri Occhi, la mia nuova società dedicata all’animazione e ai nuovi formati, in co-produzione con Robot Playground (Singapore) e TV On (Spagna), dopo essere stato selezionato ai programmi di sviluppo dei più importanti mercati cinematografici come quello di Annecy, Tokyo, Taipei e il MIA di Roma, ora sia stato selezionato in Concorso ufficiale al prossimo Festival di Annecy 2026. È il risultato di un intenso lavoro durato più di due anni.
Il film è co-diretto dal regista di Singapore Ervin Han, già vincitore di 4 Asian Academy Creative Award, e dal leggendario animatore Disney Raúl García (Il re leone, Pochaontas, Tarzan, Il gobbo di Notre Dame), e prodotto con il sostegno di MiC, Lazio Cinema International, Singaporian Film Fund, i fondi nazionali spagnoli ICAA e regionali IVC e AFÍN SGR, di RTVE, ÀPUNT MEDIA, e del Red Sea Film Fund. Le vendite internazionali sono affidate alla società France TV distribution.

"Un sogno italiano" sul Fatto Quotidiano.
Ieri sera bellissima presentazione a Milano al Cinema Arlecchino della Cineteca alla presenza del regista Fausto Caviglia. Grazie al Goethe-Institut e al Consolato tedesco per la collaborazione. E' l'inizio di un tour di date che porterà il film in giro per l'Italia a ricordare l'avventura umana dei nostri connazionali che dagli anni '50 partirono verso una terra a loro sconosciuta per migliorare la vita loro e dei loro cari. Una vicenda del passato che ci deve aiutare a capire meglio il presente.
Last night, a wonderful screening at the Cinema Arlecchino in Milan, attended by the director Fausto Caviglia. Thanks to the Goethe-Institut and the German Consulate for their collaboration.
It's the beginning of a tour that will take the film around Italy to commemorate the human journey of our grandfathers who, from the 1950s onwards, set off for a land unknown to them in order to improve their lives and those of their loved ones. A story from the past that should help us to better understand the present.
