OFF PLUS CAMERAOFF PLUS CAMERA is a major event devoted to Polish and international independent cinema organized by The Society for Independent and Other Arts OFF CAMERA and Krakow Festival Office since 2008. . Our key objective is to give support to the filmmakers at the beginning of their careers. The most important element of the festival is the international competition, in which 12 independent directors from all over the world compete for the Krakow Film Award of $100,000. The winner is selected by an international jury and the award is given by the President of Krakow. Each year, approximately 100 films are presented during more than 200 screenings. Our Festival aspires to show – besides the newest productions – the classics of underground cinema through retrospective and tribute sections. ![]() Interview With Italian Composer Umberto SmerilliPescara born Umberto Smerilli is one of Italy's emerging masterful film composers. A graduate of the Italian National School of Cinema at Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, Umberto is best known for his work on 'Scrambled' (2007), 'Il Torneo' (2008) and 'Worldly Girl' (2016). He is a multi talent who synergizes the old and new world with confidence, grace and Italian panache. My first encounter with Umberto was at the Off Camera Film Festival in Krakow, Poland in May, 2017 where he came to represent his latest film 'Worldly Girl'. It was a memorable meeting inside a new Mercedes going close to 200KM an hour, with him sitting shotgun and myself in the backseat behind the driver. While the rest of us in the car were holding on for dear life, Umberto sat calmly, savoring the joy ride with a big smile on his face as he spoke of his all time favorite film composers and thereafter turned the radio to full blast to sing along to Edith Piaf's “Je ne Regrette Rien.” Umberto currently resides in Rome. After our crazy meeting and having witnessed his great passion of music at all moments and at any speed, I couldn't wait to interview Umberto Smerilli about his career- past, present and future. Here is what he had to say:
Did you always know you want to be a film composer?
How did you and Marco Danieli begin working together?
