Claudio Iannone/RAI Cinema International RAI Cinema International Distribution is heading to the Cannes market with a promising slate headlined by new works from prominent Italian auteurs and Cannes and Venice aficionados including Gianni Amelio, Mario Martone, Daniele Vicari and Berlin-based Russian helmer Victor Kossakovsky.
Amelio, who is best-known for his Oscar-nominated “Open Doors” (1990) and also “Stolen Children,” which won the 1992 Cannes Grand Prix – and, more recently helmed the 2024 drama “Battleground” that bowed in Venice – is now in post on “No Pain” toplining Valeria Golino and Alessandro Borghi (“The Eight Mountains”) (see first-look image above). In “No Pain,” which is tipped for Venice, Borghi plays a quiet man named Davide devastated by a tragic event for which he bears an unwitting responsibility. He finds some peace of mind through his emotional bond with a woman named Elsa, played by Golino.
