Peter Greenaway has announced his intention to sign with other directors his first vertical film, the first made in Europe, inspired and imagined in the wake of the VerticalMovie Festival. The film will be entitled Verticality,will be developed in 7 episodes and will be produced by Claudio Bucci’s Stemo Production. The director of The Zoo of Venus and The Belly of the Architect will direct the first chapter together with his wife, director and video artist Saskia Boddeke, and will supervise the entire project: “Modern culture is now directed towards the use of mobile phones – said Peter Greenaway during a meeting with the festival audience – and even if some people use it horizontally, most use it vertically; if you look around and look at the buildings of Rome, Italy and Europe, and if you believe that cinema is like looking through a window, you will find that most windows in the Western world are vertical, not horizontal.”
