from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alberto Negrin (born January 2, 1940 in Casablanca , Morocco ) is an Italian television and film director and photographer .

Life

Negrin was born in Morocco, where his parents fled from fascism in Italy. Returning soon after the end of the war, Negrin became a photographer working for many renowned magazines ( Panorama , L'Espresso , Europeo ) after completing his training . From 1962 he worked as an assistant director at the theater; he worked with Virginio Puecher , Giorgio Strehler and Orazio Costa ; from 1965 to the present day he has directed at the “Piccolo Teatro” in Milan .

In 1969 he made his cinema debut with the documentary Operai, which was reserved for alternative film circles . In the same year he found his calling as a television director with a children's film. For the screen he was the director of numerous richly endowed and ambitious films, such as Kennedy versus Jimmy Hoffa , Astronave Terra , Il delitto Notarbartolo , Viaggio nel terrore and Perlasca - un eroe italiano , almost always based on his own scripts. In these partly international co-productions his talent for the arrangement of generous tableaus was shown. Between 1977 and 1979, three films were made, but they were not successful.
