Avati plays all that jazz for RAI, DueA
ROME -- Pupi Avati, the Italian director whose A Heart Elsewhere recently unspooled at the Festival de Cannes, is set to shoot a new picture revolving around Italy's present-day jazz scene. Cameras will start rolling in mid-July on the film, Quando Arrivano Le Ragazze? (When Are the Girls Coming?), Avati said Wednesday. Italian pubcaster RAI's film unit, RAI Cinema, is co-producing with Avati's Rome-based DueA shingle. Avati -- a jazz buff whose many feature films include Bix, a biopic of the 1920s U.S. cornet giant Bix Beiderbecke -- said his upcoming work will be about a fictional Italian jazz sextet.
