Film director, producer, screenwriter and writer, Pupi Avati is born in Bologna on 3rd November 1938. The love for his city and the passion for music have always been part of his life. He often shoots his films in Bologna and uses to insert in them many musical references, sometimes inspired by his own experience.

"Endless Youth" is a film of strong emotional power, that wrings everyone’s heart as it deals with man’s destiny and the mystery of childhood. Childhood that seems never to end and that comes powerfully back in man’s twilight years.
Avati received a special “Nastro d’argento” for «his cinematographic Endless Youth and for a film which addresses an important social and personal issue –never told in cinema before– with sensitiveness and intenseness».
