## Biography

Gianni Amico (1933–1990) was an Italian screenwriter, director and cultural organiser. Born in Loano, Savona, he began working in film production in the early 1960s and co-wrote the screenplay for Bernardo Bertolucci’s *Before the Revolution* (1964).

He collaborated again with Bertolucci on *Partner* (1968) and with Glauber Rocha on *The Lion Has Seven Heads* (1970). Amico served as assistant director to Jean-Luc Godard on *Wind from the East* (1970) and directed numerous documentaries and television films for RAI, including several made in Brazil. He also organised international film festivals focused on Latin American cinema.
