The Music Beat of My City - NANAI (Turin, Italy)

What does your city sound like? What music does it love? What rhythm is it beating to?

Our new project "The Music Beat of My City" is dedicated to the musical bands of Volgograd and its twin-cities. In honor of the photographic exhibition "Turin, a City of a Thousand Souls", dedicated to Volgograd's first Italian twin-city, this series of publications begins with Turin's performers.

Today on air is the "NANAI" band with their song "June". Its music video is inspired by the atmosphere from Stephen King's "The Shinning". A little boy runs across a cornfield chased by an entity, which doesn't really exist. This entity is actually created by his imagination: two girls are chasing him. Who are they? The sisters, two mothers, two strangers, two ghosts?

The "June" song by NANAI is waiting for you on YouTube:

The music video was directed by Max Chicco, to whom we extend our gratitude for the materials displayed!

Having filmed a series of corporate videos for brands such as Martini & Rossi, Ramazzotti, Pernod Richard, Lovable, Paravia, Italfer Spa in the beginning of his career, Max would later obtain his second Master's degree in Filmmaking at the New York Film Academy and spend several years in Broadway, filming 15 TV specials ("Broadway on stage" and "Dance Step Off Broadway") and documentaries on Indie cinema in New York, as well as "Twin Towers: an American Tragedy" – a movie stemming from the pain and desolation of witnessing the tragedy of 11 September 2001.

In 2019, Max Chicco realized his second feature film titled "The Factory", which is inspired by a real story that shattered, during the 80s-90s, an entire community in Northern Italy. Hundreds of people died from cancer caused by the fumes of chemicals in a factory of synthetic dyes.

This movie is a learning experiment: students attended a filmmaking course by which they could take part in the movie process, with some of these students being related to the people who died of cancer years before.
