Padre is Michele Gallone’s new short film, produced thanks to a development grant from Creative Europe Media Slate, support from the MiC and SIAE as part of the “Per Chi Crea” program, and the Umbria Region’s Development and Cohesion Fund (FSC) 2021–2027 Umbria Film Fund 2022 of the Umbria Region, with technical support from the Umbria Film Commission. The screenplay for “Padre,” written by Michele Gallone with Sara Parentini, won first prize at the Cavaliere Giallo – Bergamo Film Meeting.

The film features an exceptional cast, including Filippo Timi and Alberto Paradossi in the lead roles of Mario and Francesco, Francesca Inaudi as Angela, Alessandra Chieli as the Notary, and young Carolina Michelangeli—who previously played Laura Bispuri in “Il Paradiso del Pavone.”
