Vittorio De Seta (15 October 1923 – 28 November 2011) was an Italian cinema director and screenwriter, considered one of the Italian cinema's great imaginative realists of the 1960s.

Biography

He was born in Palermo, Sicily, to a wealthy family, and studied architecture in Rome, before deciding to become a director.

De Seta made ten short documentaries between 1954 and 1959, before directing his first feature-length film, Banditi a Orgosolo (Bandits of Orgosolo).

His early documentaries focus on the everyday life of many of Sicily's poorest workers, and are notable for their lack of voice-over narration, quiet mood, and striking color.

In 2005 the rediscovery of Vittorio De Seta's work was a highlight of Tribeca Film Festival and Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, where was presented Détour De Seta, a documentary on the Italian director.

Dans une école de la périphérie romaine, un jeune enseignant inexpérimenté donnant ses cours dans une classe à moitié vide décide d'affronter le problème de l’absentéisme en allant à la recherche dans le quartier des enfants qui « sèchent » les cours. Cette nouvelle façon de procéder et les dialogues qui s'en suivent aboutissent à la création d'un enrichissement réciproque entre les jeunes élèves et le maître (Bruno Cirino) lequel aux yeux des téléspectateurs représente la personne qui met en pratique des idées prêchées mais jamais appliquées.
