BFFB Let's talk about cinema 📹 Ep. 14 A couple, both on screen and in life—she from Bolzano, he from Vienna—Tizza Covi and Rainer Frimmel are guests at the Bolzano Film Festival Bozen with THE LONELIEST MAN IN TOWN, in competition at the 2026 Berlinale. Since 2002, they have been working independently through Vento Film, शूटing on 16 mm with a minimal crew, and moving along the fine line between documentary and fiction. Their gaze has consistently turned toward outsiders: solitary artists, often on the margins or in decline—from the circus world of LA PIVELLINA and MISTER UNIVERSO to the Rome of VERA, awarded in Venice for both direction and Vera Gemma’s performance. This time, their focus is on Al Cook, a pioneer of Austrian blues, in a Vienna that is rapidly changing—and increasingly pushing out those who can no longer afford to stay.
