Parallelo 41 Produzioni, founded in Napoli in 2002 by Antonella Di Nocera, nurtures young talent and produces independent audiovisual content based on local creativity and expertise, adopting an international outlook, particularly in cinéma du reel. The lightweight filmmaking aesthetic predominates: digital technologies, small crews, street locations, and stories and narratives that recount and investigate the real world. Reality to write with, reality to write about: life in the movie we shoot, and cinema in the lives we film. The work for the films produced (over 40 works including shorts, documentaries and fiction films) expresses a consistent focus on ethics and responsibility, sustainability and gender equality. The company gives a great attention to development of ideas and projects and that is why It’s also involved in training programs. Thus, development and production activities go along in a framework of passionate approach which aims to lead local talents and stories to cross borders and work for international cooperation.

In addition to documentaries, this core principle extends also to fiction projects in development, involving authors under 35, with which the company is currently active in major international networking and pitching arenas. Among these there are international co- productions in place: La scelta del nome by Caterina Biasiucci, co-produced with Tangaj Film from Romania, written by the director and David di Donatello Winner 2022 Bruno Oliviero (Award for development - Campania Region Film Fund); To get her by Sabrina Iannucci, co-produced with the French company Duno Films, selected at Alpi Film Lab’s co-production programme by Annecy Cinéma Italien and Torino Film Lab (Award for development - Campania Region Film Fund and Agorà Networking Award - Thessaloniki at Cyprus Film Days); Ma mére qui êtes aux cieux by Catherine Ulmer co-produced with the French company Massala Production (Award for development - Campania Region Film Fund).
