For the Italian Design Day, on 1 March 2018, MDFF renewed its collaboration with Italian Cultural Institutes around the world. Until 4 March, as guests of the Italian Cultural Institute of Tokyo, headed by professor Paolo Calvetti, we presented the repertoire “Italian Geographies of Design”: 10 documentaries outline the phenomenon of Italian uniqueness, ranging from landscapes to cultural heritage and, above all, research and innovation in the field of design. The programme included the short film Gillo Dorfles. In un bicchier d’acqua, (Francesco Clerici, Italy 2017, 11′), which celebrated once again the recently deceased master.
