Roberto Minervini is an Italian-born film director, who lives and works in the U.S. He is widely considered to be one of the world’s most prominent auteurs of narrative documentaries, which combine dramatized and observational elements. After completing a Master of Arts in Media Studies at the New School in New York City in 2004, Roberto taught Documentary Filmmaking in Asia. In 2007, he moved to Texas and directed three feature films, The Passage, Low Tide and Stop the Pounding Heart, a Texas Trilogy that focused on rural communities in the American South. In more recent years, he has begun to produce the work of other visionary filmmakers through his production company Pulpa Film. Roberto’s latest film, The Damned, is his first fiction film.
Winter 1862. In the midst of the Civil War, the US Army sends a company of volunteer soldiers to the western territories, with the task of patrolling the uncharted borderlands. As their mission ultimately changes course, the meaning behind their engagement begins to elude them.
