UTAE is an upcoming film co-directed by Alessio De Vecchi and Michael Laburt. The screenplay is co-written by Tommaso Gallone, with cinematography by Luca Esposito. The film is produced by Basement in collaboration with Nishimura Naoya and Morimichi Aoki — a production structure that bridges European creative sensibility with Japanese production discipline.
For De Vecchi, UTAE is a form of permanence. His visual work as Visual Co-Creative Director of ANYMA has been seen by millions of people, projected at scales that dwarf traditional cinema, and covered by publications from Variety to Flaunt. Live performance is ephemeral by nature — the visuals exist in the moment and vanish. Film is the opposite commitment: a permanent record, a fixed composition, something that will be watched and re-watched.
