There is a boom in viewings in Italy and abroad on Prime for the docu-film made for the club’s 130th anniversary. In the order of a few hundred thousand cinephiles who watched the film in the first two months of screening. 60 thousand unique accesses monitored by the official detection system. The film towards inclusion in the summer festival circuit. The sociological aspects of Genoa are a matter of in-depth study for experts in the sector.
The film classified among documentaries was in the Top 10 in cinemas during its debut phase, being among the 25 most viewed in national cinemas in the first quarter of 2024. Over 20 thousand spectators spread across almost half of the regions, thanks to the direct involvement of the clubs affiliated with the ACG.
Lights in the room – Genoa, Genoa. The Genoans, the Genoese. But also those who live outside the city, region, country. A success that is going around the carousel with the engine of a collective feeling. Cinema and TV: plus sign. The event film on Genoa, a fresco on the values that color it, is making a splash on Prime, after the numbers – and what numbers – obtained at the box office in cinemas. The manifesto of belonging of a people.
Sick people from Genoa – “Genoa Anyway and Everywhere” is a tribute to the deepest meaning of supporting Genoa in the stories, the testimonies, the stories, the emotions that unite the protagonists and thousands of people, representing different generations, within the perimeter of the close bond with the favorite team and a sporting “disease” that perpetuates itself in the bridge that connects past, present and future. Genoa is life.
The power of love – A journey through the implications of an irrational feeling, imbued with a love that borders on territories that are almost 100% unexplorable. The magic of Genoa that is reinvigorated in the narrative without barriers, for those who experience it as a religion to profess, a family heritage outside the dominant logic, respecting traditions and the pride of passing on the inclusive state of community rooted over the centuries.
