Ermanno Olmi
Ermanno Olmi (Bergamo, 1931 – Asiago, 2018) was a director, screenwriter and author. He began his early career directing documentaries that describe the world of industrial production for Edison-Volta. After conceiving and directing more than forty documentaries, he made his debut film, Il tempo si è fermato (Time Stood Still) in 1958. His career continued for more than fifty years, with a rigorous and poetic expressiveness attentive to the description of the relationship with nature, focusing his gaze on the daily life of the humble, in the memory of his own peasant origins.
