For months, director Fredo Valla and assistant director and producer Fabio Ferrero have been tracking Flemish artist Hans Clemer to reconstruct his human and artistic adventure, retracing a life that unites Provence and southwestern Piedmont.
The result is the film "Hans Clemer. An Unauthorized Biography," due out this fall.
Valla and Ferrero, in conversation with the writer, poet, and journalist Gian Luca Favetto, who in the film retraces the itineraries of the Master of Elva with the slow pace of the pilgrims of old, share the behind-the-scenes story of the making of a work that seeks to demonstrate that Hans Clemer was not just a Master of Elva, but an international painter.
