New trailer released for Jeff Malmberg and Chris Shellen's 'Spettacolo'

Documentary about Italian village where politics is an artform opens Sept. 6

Producers of Spettacolo are releasing a new trailer for the documentary, just days before the film hits theaters. 

Jeff Malmberg and Chris Shellen directed the story set in the idyllic Tuscan town of Montecchiello, a place where political divisions within the community are resolved through theatrical productions. Spettacolo, which premiered at SXSW back in March, opens September 6 at The Quad in New York City. It opens September 29 at Laemmle's Monica Film Center and Laemmle's Music Hall, both in the L.A. area. 
​

It all happened by chance. We turned our lives into a play.

--Andrea Cresti in Spettacolo

The new trailer gives a sense of the beauty of the town, the 50 history of its "auto drama" tradition, and some of the local personalities who combine to make the film so charming.
