Watch the Spiel­berg-inspired trail­er for the 24th Rain­dance Film Festival

14 Jul 2016

Words by Alex Chambers

Direc­tor Fil­ip­po Capuzzi Lapi­etra has cre­at­ed a charm­ing trib­ute for the festival’s 2016 edition.

This year’s Rain­dance Film Fes­ti­val gets under­way in Sep­tem­ber, and to get you in the mood the fes­ti­val organ­is­ers have released this delight­ful trib­ute to Steven Spiel­berg, who cel­e­brates his 70th birth­day this year. Direct­ed by award-win­ning Brazil­ian film­mak­er, Fil­ip­po Capuzzi Lapi­etra, who won a Young Direc­tor Award dur­ing the Cannes Lions Inter­na­tion­al Fes­ti­val of Cre­ativ­i­ty, the trail­er speaks to the inner child in all of us, tak­ing us on a jour­ney from when we first dis­cov­ered the film that ignit­ed our pas­sion for the art form.

Lapietra’s script for the trail­er is based on Spielberg’s 2010 Acad­e­my Award speech, in which he shared some of his cin­e­mat­ic inspi­ra­tions. Scenes from sev­er­al of the director’s films are recre­at­ed in the trail­er, includ­ing a dinosaur from Juras­sic Park and a key bat­tle scene from Escape to Nowhere, a 40-min film he direct­ed when he was just 14.
