Paolo Taviani
Paolo Taviani was born on the 8th November 1931 in San Miniato, Italy. He studied Art in Pisa. Paolo and his brother Vittorio's interest in film began in 1954 when they made their first joint short film about their village entitled SAN MINIATO, LUGLIO ’44. They made a name for themselves internationally with the 1977 work PADRE PADRONE. Their European coproduction LA MASSERIA DELLE ALLODOLE was presented in a special screening at the 2007 Berlinale. Their film CAESAR MUST DIE (2012) won the Golden Berlin Bear for Best Film and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the Berlin Film Festival in 2012, as well as numerous prizes in Italy.
