Qui gatto ci cova
Directed by
The cartoon Qui Gatto ci cova, was made thanks to the contribution of Local Authorities, by the children of the two elementary schools "Colonna e Finzi" and "Rayneri" of Turin, and the municipal teachers of the "Millelire" Image Laboratory.
After reading Luis Sepúlveda's book "The Story of a Little Gabbian and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly," the children developed the screenplay, inserting into the story of Fortunata and Zorba, original narrative solutions, particularly highlighting such themes as friendship, solidarity, the discovery of different identities, and the value of diversity.
The realization process lasted over 11 months (from '98 to '99) and was divided into two weekly meetings. With the children, in the different phases of realization, set designer Lele Luzzati (decoupage, character creation, settings), director Enzo D'Alò and writer Luis Sepúlveda (script and storyboard phases) collaborated.
The Real World and Sony Music Companies have granted free use of some of the original music and songs from the film La Gabbianella e il Gatto.
Rita Rossi, director of editing for the films La Freccia Azzurra and La Gabbianella e il Gatto, collaborated in the editing and soundboarding phase, and Lanterna Magica's "educational sector" coordinated the various phases of the project.
