Prior to the pandemic, British filmmaker Peter Chelsom shot an Italian-language movie titled “Security” based on the novel of the same name by U.S. author Stephen Amidon. The film, set in the posh Tuscan seaside town of Forte Dei Marmi, wrapped just before lockdown. It stars Italian A-lister Marco D’Amore as a cop looking into a web of sexual abuse cases. The entirely Italian cast also comprises Maya Sansa, Fabrizio Bentivoglio, Valeria Bilello, Silvio Muccino and Tommaso Ragno. The cinematographer, Mauro Fiore (“Avatar”), is Italian-born. Chelsom spoke exclusively to Variety about “Security,” which is co-produced by Indiana Production and Vision Distribution and being sold as a market premiere at the Cannes virtual Marché du Film by Vision Distribution’s new world sales arm.
This is the second novel by Amidon set in the U.S. and transposed to Italy, after “Human Capital,” which was directed by Paolo Virzì. Other similarities?...

ROME -- Andrea Molaioli's "La Ragazza del Lago" (The Girl From the Lake) was the surprise star of the David di Donatello Awards on Friday, taking home the prizes for best film, director, emerging director, producer and screenwriting.
The Davids were dished out at a gala ceremony that attracted intense attention from the local media as well as large crowds that gathered outside the theater despite cloudy skies.
Molaioli, the only helmer nominated in the director and emerging director categories, won both for his murder mystery set in northern Italy.
"Lago", which premiered at last year's Venice Film Festival, also earned nods for Sandro Petraglia (screenwriting), Francesca Cima and Nicola Giuliano (producer), Toni Servillo (best actor) and Ramiro Civita (cinematography).
The best actress prize went to Margherita Buy for her role in "Giorni e Nuvole" (Days and Clouds), which premiered last year at the RomaCinemaFest. And actor Silvio Muccino, brother of director Gabrielle Muccino, won the Young David award for his directoral debut, "Parlami d'Amore" (Talk to Me About Love).

ROME -- In some much needed good news for the Italian film sector, an indigenous Italian film rose above its Hollywood rivals in boxoffice take over the weekend for the first time this year, according to national boxoffice tracking agency Cinetel on Monday. Giovanni Veronesi's romantic comedy Manuale D'Amore (Love's Manual), which stars Carlo Verdone and Silvio Muccino, pulled in 2.8 million ($3.7 million), easily bumping off last week's leader Sony Pictures' Hitch, which had a weekend take of $1.3 million. In third place was the Jim Carrey starrer Lemony Snicket, which pulled in $610,000 over the weekend. And while a small victory for the Italians, any good news is welcome at a time when the industry has been battling a series of depressing figures. Cinetel said overall ticket sales in Italy are down 11% to date with respect to 2005.
