Giacomo Abbruzzese is in Montreal to present his award-winning film Disco Boy (Silver Bear for Cinematography, Berlin Film Festival) at Cinema Public (screened on February 7). In this artist talk Abbruzzese will discuss the making of his first film, America (2022) and Disco Boy, a European co-production drama starring Franz Rogowski.

Abruzzese worked from 2008 to 2009 as a photographer in the Middle East. In 2011, he obtained a postgraduate diploma at the prestigious French film school of Le Fresnoy.
