12:35 Dante Ferretti in Designing for the Big Screen | |
Constructing "a working space for narrative” is how production
designer Ferretti describes his role in the collaborative process of
filmmaking. A key characteristic of his approach, especially in his
fruitful associations with Pier Paolo Pasolini, Federico Fellini, and
Martin Scorsese, is his practice of conceiving, for each project, a
single set piece intended to stimulate the director’s imagination and
crystallize the visual style and character of the film. Indulging his
preference for both dreamlike and historical subjects, and drawing on
his knowledge of painting, sculpture, and poetry, Ferretti categorizes
his designs as "period” (Salò), "fantasy” (The Adventures of Baron Munchausen), or "contemporary” (Todo Modo).
Inspired by the grand-scale, operatic traditions of classical Italian
cinema, Ferretti’s work is most effectively viewed as it was originally
intended: on the big screen. Presented in conjunction with MoMA’s Dante Ferretti gallery exhibition,
this 22-film retrospective demonstrates how the designer’s settings
have served to guide directorial practice with signature distinction. Over more than four decades of innovative, distinguished design work,
Ferretti has received numerous awards, including three Academy Awards,
three British BAFTAs, and several Italian David Di Donatello awards. The exhibition is supported by the MoMA Annual Exhibition Fund.
