A director and screenwriter of narrative and documentary films, Giorgio Diritti also directs for the theatre. He founded and runs the Aura Film School in Ostana with screenwriter Fredo Valla. His feature debut The Wind Blows Round (2005) – with Thierry Toscan, Alessandra Agosti, Dario Anghilante, Giovanni Foresti; written by Valla – picked up numerous international awards and five David di Donatello nominations. Made on a small budget as a unique joint venture with the cast and crew, and through synergies created with the territory, it was hailed as the film phenomenon of the year. His other films include The Man Who Will Come (which triumphed at the 2009 Rome International Film Festival and the 2010 David di Donatello Awards) and There Will Come a Day (2013), starring Jasmine Trinca, a performance awarded with the Silver Ribbon
for Best Actress.
