Nice is proud to have introduced the talented Giacomo Campiotti to New York in 1994 when his film Like Two Crocodiles won the audience award. Since then, Campiotti has continued on a very personal path with gripping films that touch deep chords in his audiences. His work includes Corsa di primavera, the three-part feature Il tempo dell’amore and a remake of Doctor Zivago for BBC television. His new coming-of-age film Never Again as Before, screened here in its North American premier, shows his ability to climb emotional heights while gently leading the viewer to see the profound connections between events. Four boys and two girls who have just graduated from high school vacation together in the heart-stopping Dolomite mountains. On a dramatic climbing expedition up a mystic peak, they encounter a tragedy that will change each of them forever. Campiotti wrote this film with noted Russian writer-director Alexander Adabachian.
