Biography[edit]

Marco Segato was born on June 18th,1973 in Padua. He attended the Department of Linguistic and Literary Studies in University of Padua and after that he earned a master documentary's degree in Civica Scuola di Cinema "Luchino Visconti" in Milan.[1]

Career[edit]

Cinema[edit]

Marco Segato started his cinematic carrer as Carlo Mazzacurati's director assistant in La giusta distanza in 2007.

In 2007 he directed his first movie, the documentary Ci resta il nome for Jolefilm, a cinematic production based in Padua. In this film Segato talked about past wars and their memory today, featured testimonies of the writer Mario Rigoni Stern and the actor Marco Paolini, who will collaborate with Segato in following films and projects.[2] The next year Segato directed another documentary titled Via Anelli, about the redevelopment of via Anelli, a neighborhood described by the media as run down by drug dealing and prostitution, but where the people who lived there recounted another version of the story. As Segato said: «i ragazzi che avevo conosciuto e che lì avevano abitato raccontavano un’altra storia: vite difficili vissute con dignità e semplicità, vite d’operai generici, turnisti, precari, senza un posto migliore dove andare e spesso con una famiglia da mantenere» (transl. guys who lived there and that I knew telled me other stories: hard lifes lived simply with dignity, stories of labours, shift workes, temporary employeers with no better place to go and with a family).[3]

In 2011 he worked as director, cinematographer and editor for the documentary Ora si ferma il vento, «il diario di questo viaggio dove la musica è protagonista di questa straordinaria esperienza» (transl. in this journey diary the music is the protagonist of this extraordinary experience")[4] where Libera Cantoria Pisani is the protagonist, an amateur choir of Lonigo, near Vicenza.

The next year Segato directed the documentary L’uomo che amava il cinema, a biography of Piero Tortolina, film collector, event organizer, and cinéphile. He was born in Canicattì but he lived most of his life in Padua. The documentary was presented at Venice Days of the 69th edition of the Venice Film Festival.[5]

In 2016 he directed La pelle dell’orso (known internationally as On the Trail of My Father), based on Marco Righetti’s homonymous coming-of-age story book. Segato also cures the scriptment with Enzo Monteleone and Marco Paolini, who plays the protagonist Pietro Sieff, a gruff father who goes in search of a bear in the area of Dolomites, followed by his quiet and smart son Domenico (Leonardo Mason). Other remarkable actors featured in this film are Lucia Mascino, Paolo Pierobon, Mirko Artuso, and Valerio Mazzucato. The following year the movie was candidated for David di Donatello Best New Director and for “Miglior Opera Prima” (Best First Film) and “Best Cinematography” at  Globo d’oro. It won three awards at Festival Annecy Cinéma Italien (Grand Prix Fiction, Prix Cicae e Prix Annecy Cinéma Haute-Savoie); it also has a wide distribution in film festivals in Italy and all over the world.[6][7][8]

Theatre[edit]

Marco Segato worked as a director also for other projects: in 2008 he directed Il sergente, Marco Paolini’s theatre play, based on Mario Rigoni Stern’s Il sergente nella neve (1953). In 2009 Segato directed the concert-performance Pensavo fosse Bach of cellist Mario Brunello.[1]

In 2021 Segato directed the TV show La fabbrica del mondo, by Jolefilm with Marco Paolini and Telmo Pievani, a philosophy professor at the University of Padua. Paolini and Pievani discussed the UN project “Agenda 2030”, environmental themes and sensibilization to the climate crisis. The show went on air in three episodes from January 15th to 22th 2022 on Rai 3 and now it is available on RaiPlay .[9]
