Piero della Francesca – The drama behind the canvas

IN PRODUCTION

In search of the enigmatic paintings by Renaissance painter Piero della Francesca, the film takes viewers through the idyllic villages of Tuscany and Umbria. We approach the hidden stories behind the iconic works at the places where they were created. In this way, the “drama behind the canvas” transports its viewers into the timeless beauty of the Italian province and brings the magic of the Quattrocento to life.

Maria Willer

is music journalist and was formerly, before founding the “3B-Produktion GmbH”, editor and presenter at the radio broadcaster “Klassik Radio” since 2003. Apart from her journalistic activities she has founded the “Musikkindergarten Hamburg”. Before working for the radio she was trainee as print journalist. In this way Maria Willer’s train of medial thinking spreads from the reader to the listener as well as to a film audience. Important for her is that stories reach out to human beings – whichever media is used.
