The former pilgrims’ hostel St. Florian near Laag/Laghetti in the municipality of Neumarkt/Egna is one of the locations where Bolzano/Bozen-born director Maura Delpero’s new film is being shot. Vermiglio tells a story set apart from the fronts of the Second World War that is both shocking and touching. In September 2024, Delpero won the Silver Lion in Venice for the film; in December, Vermiglio picked up a Golden Globe nomination. TAKE has sat down with the director for an on-set interview.
The 75th Berlin International Film Festival (13 to 23 February 2025) once again served as an important platform for the international film industry. Between opening day and 19 February, the IDM Film Commission Südtirol attended pivotal industry events and also celebrated the international premiere of the IDM-funded film The Ice Tower that received the Silver Bear.
A quiet project, a local crew, and Maura Delpero, director and screenwriter from Bolzano/Bozen: from a mountain village to Hollywood, Vermiglio has truly come a long way. TAKE revisits the film’s impressive journey.
The IDM Film Commission supports a total of ten projects for the third, and last, call of 2024. They include six feature films, two documentaries, one TV series, and a short film.
