‘La Storia’ Director Francesca Archibugi To Direct U.K.-Italy Co-Production ‘The Italian Chapel’
'La Storia' director Francesca Archibugi is set to direct wartime drama 'The Italian Chapel,' a U.K.-Italy co-prod set in Scotland’s Orkney Islands.
Inspired by a true story, “Italian Chapel” is centered on a clash between the local Orkney community and prisoners of war who are confined there. Greenboo is the Banijay-owned company behind hits such as “Perfect Stangers,” Gabriele Muccino’s “There Is No Place Like Home,” and Paolo Virzì’s “Like Crazy,” starring Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, which launched from Director’s Fortnight in 2016. Archibugi, whose most recent feature “The Hummingbird” starring Pierfrancesco Favino and Bérénice Bejo, launched from Toronto in 2023, is working on her own version of the “Italian Chapel” script based on an original screenplay by John Wrathall (“Twist”).
