Tonino De Bernardi, a visionary filmmaker hailing from Italy in the year 1937, embarked on his creative journey towards the latter half of the 1960s. This pioneering artist's early works were characterized by their underground nature, often finding a unique platform in esteemed institutions such as museums and art galleries. De Bernardi's cinematic endeavors seamlessly intertwined his passion for literature, music, and art, resulting in a distinctive style that blurred the lines between reality and his artistic pursuits.
As his career progressed, De Bernardi went on to create his first official feature-length film, Elettra, in 1987. Inspired by the timeless masterpiece of ancient Greek playwright Sophocles, this cinematic endeavour showcased the filmmaker's ability to adapt and innovate, while remaining true to his artistic vision.
