About
Contro Vento means 'going against the wind'.
That's how we like to work. Outside the status quo.
We embrace an ethos of 'hyperrealism'
creating films that cut to the heart of truth.
Like a tightrope walker,
we tread the wire:
Reality and Imagination
Courage and Vulnerability
Truth and Delusion
Head and Heart
Science and Magic
This World and The Next.

One of them is a covert narcissist. 'To Love A Narcissist' is a resonant story for our times that blurs the lines between love and deceit and will leave you questioning whether authenticity exists.
