Oscar-winning filmmaker, Gabriele Salvatores is set to begin production on his next film, "Life In a Day ." The project is a take-off on Ridley Scott's 2010 "Britain in a Day." It will be the first collective film to be made by Italians. The designated day is October 26, 2013, which the director calls, "a normal autumn Saturday.” Participants are invited to document their own day on video, showing an ordinary day in their lives. “We always say that cinema should tell the story of our own lives. For once, we are asking people to stop being directed and to tell who they are themselves,” explained Salvatores. “It is an interesting challenge and a great responsibility,” Salvatores went on, “because here, the author is putting himself at the service of citizens’ emotions and thoughts. It's a project that is beyond cinema and documentary.” The film, produced by Indiana Production and Rai Cinema, will be released in theaters and shown on the Rai network.
