Depero: Rovereto, New York and Other Stories

Depero: Rovereto, New York and Other Stories is the first documentary film focused on the artist from Trentino, Fortunato Depero.

After more than a hundred audio described films and series and while working on Alfred Hitchcock's Suspicion, he feels the need to question his practice: is he too objective?
