Born in Sondrio, Lombardy, the Italian documentarian, who has filmed both nuns and porn stars, is based in Germany and was trained as an economist and philosopher, and also worked as a cultural journalist and translator.
Music unites but it can also highlight differences, Melazzini says. His film, meanwhile, has been called “an excursion to another time and place, maybe to another planet,” and to an epoch when millions of Europeans indulged in “synthesized sounds, catchy melodies and generally bizarre English lyrics, all often combined with insistently futuristic videos.”
And, as his analytical doc makes clear, it’s easy to underestimate the importance of independent, non-ideological escape music. “Most musical effort was in creating the right soundtrack with original music. I think composer Luca Vasco made a great job.”“I tried to understand that Italo Disco was not just a music genre, but a whole époque, and especially an economic industry and a social lifestyle. My studies may have helped in that and that’s why I spent time also focusing on the producers of Italo Disco.”
It was also clear to Melazzini from the beginning that he needed to partner with Italian TV broadcaster RAI to get the best footage of the period.
Looking forward to this! I love ItaloDisco ⚡️🐯⚡️
