Filmed on location in Prague, Czech Republic; Vienna, Austria; Venice, Italy; Florence, Italy; and Los Angeles, United States, FIORETTA follows renowned American lawyer and genealogist Randy Schoenberg and his teenage son Joey Schoenberg on a journey through Europe (and the centuries) as they reclaim and reunite the fractured shards of 500 years of family history. Along the way, they encounter kings, mystics, and a false messiah, as well as the ordinary people who witnessed Europe’s distant and recent past.

WHO:

FIORETTA was written and directed by Matthew Mishory (WHO ARE THE MARCUSES?; ARTUR SCHNABEL: NO PLACE OF EXILE; ABSENT; JOSHUA TREE, 1951: A PORTRAIT OF JAMES DEAN), who is celebrated for his exquisite visual style and expansive narrative language. Mishory’s last film, WHO ARE THE MARCUSES?  made its world premiere at Newport last year. The film was co-written and executive produced by Rob Levine, produced by Rubber Ring Films and Stone Canyon Entertainment’s Bradford L. Schlei and Álvaro Fernández, co-produced by Anneta Furdecká, photographed by Maciej Twardowski, edited by Marc Cohen, and features an original score by Ohad Stemati.

Randy Schoenberg, the grandson of composer Arnold Schoenberg, is a top litigator based in Los Angeles, California who specializes in legal cases related to the recovery of looted or stolen artworks, particularly those by the Nazi regime during the Holocaust. Schoenberg succeeded in recovering Gustav Klimt’s famous painting known as The Woman in Gold and other works of art after a nearly eight-year struggle against the Austrian government, which was portrayed in the film Woman in Gold, with Ryan Reynolds playing Schoenberg.
