Taormina Artistic Director Marco Müller On Inaugural Turn At The Helm, The ‘White Lotus’ Effect & Whether He Plans To Re-Up
Taormina Film Festival artistic director Marco Müller discusses his inaugural turn at the helm, the ‘White Lotus’ effect & whether he plans to re-up
He adds: “I was jealous of Taormina when I was at Locarno because I always told myself, ‘If only I had the Teatro Antico’ — it’s the ideal place.” And yet, he feels, “Here it would take a long time to find a way to get the young viewers back.” Müller says he’s been talking to studio execs about what dates would match promotional needs and that there have been suggestions to move Taormina back before the 4th of July holiday in the States. Explains Müller: “I thought, ‘I’ll try to understand what I can do with Italian cinema and then eventually I really found out that there are so many new voices.’ … Luckily, when you show Sicilian films, you have an audience.”
