Tonino De Bernardi (born 24 August 1937) is an Italian film director and screenwriter.




Life and career


Born in Chivasso near Turin, after graduating in literature with Massimo Mila, with a thesis on neoclassical Stravinsky, Tonino De Bernardi joined the Cooperativa Cinema Indipendente Italiano in 1967, based first in Naples and then in Rome. In Turin he collaborated with Paolo Menzio ("Il mostro verde", 16mm, in competition at Knokke-le-Zoute 1967–68, EXPRMNTL, Experimental Film Festival) and Pia Epremian De Silvestris (De Bernardi acted, together with Mariella Navale, in "Medea" and other films of hers, and Pia, in turn, appears in De Bernardi's works). In Rome, the Cooperative's films were often screened at festivals organized at the Filmstudio '70 (from March 1968). Among others, Giorgio Turi, Adamo Vergine, Alfredo Leonardi, Gianfranco Baruchello, Massimo Bacigalupo - who was to become a fundamental friend of Tonino and Mariella - Luca Patella, Piero Bargellini, Guido Lombardi and Anna Lajolo took part in the Cooperative.
