Cultural Mining

https://culturalmining.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/garberjune28-12-interview-2-unedited.mp3Ivan Cotroneo is a noted scriptwriter, novelist and translator, originally from Naples, whose first movie (as a director) Kryptonite! recently played at Toronto’s Italian Contemporary Film Festival. Kryptonite! is a coming-of-age drama about an innocent 9-year-old boy from a dysfunctional family in Naples in the 1970’s, who is thrown into the counterculture there by his young aunt and uncle.

I spoke with Ivan in detail about his new film (by telephone in Toronto).
