It was recently announced that documentary filmmaker Francesco Patierno will present his latest work "Camorra" in the Sconfini program of the 75 th Venice Film Festival, which runs August 29 – September 8. The film has been described as “a striking historical and socio-anthropological portrait of the Campania’s regional capital and of the organized crime that afflicts it.” Patierno spent months researching the treasures of Rai Teche archives and uncovered a number of period films, many of which were previously unpublished. Born in Naples in 1964, Patierno studied architecture before discovering his passion for filmmaking. He worked as a creative director for an ad agency producing video clips and commercial spots for RAI.

The compelling 10-minute film premiered at the 53 rd Venice Film Festival and was shown at more than 50 film festivals worldwide....
