What is "Over The Skyline" about
"Over The Skyline"Had above all one merit: clearing the idea that Italians cannot make science fiction films. "Italy is not ready for science fiction Marco. Try to change gender”Marco Gentili, a young director of Rivazzurra di Rimini. "It seemed that no one, except Americans, could create thick science fiction products ... until we made our short film. The first prize at home, the short won the Florence Film Award (where it was defined as “revolutionary”). Fifteen more followed, from the Heart International Italian Film Festival toHollywood Gold Award, up to the Sicily Art Cinema Festival.
The film, shot entirely in Rivazzurra di Rimini when it was the red zone due to the pandemic, stars the mathematician Theodore Benson. Through an algorithm, Benson discovers the cure for the so-called "Primordial Disease". But it is not just a science fiction short film, “Over The Skyline”. It is the story of many people today, since it speaks of a disease that affects so many individuals. And which, by destroying them from the whole, paradoxically gives them a benefit.
