Pa-ra-da by Marco Pontecorvo

Marco Pontecorvo’s Pa-ra-da was screened at the 2008 Venice Film Festival’s Horizons sidebar. Pa-ra-da tells the story of real-life street clown Miloud Oukili, who arrived in Romania in 1992 — three years after Nicolae Ceausescu’s fall — where he taught circus skills to a group of that country’s street children.

Screenplay by Marco Pontecorvo and Roberto Tiraboschi. In the cast: Jalil Lespert (as Miloud), Evita Ciri, Daniele Formica.

Marco’s father, Gillo Pontecorvo, won the 1966 Golden Lion for the political docudrama The Battle of Algiers.
