Fabio Amurri

Fabio Amurri, if you know anything about fresh talent in film, is one of those names that keeps popping up in all the right circles. He’s the guy behind “Do Not Feed the Pigeons” (2021)—that weirdly hypnotic short that everybody was talking about on Twitter for a hot minute. The vibe? Moody, offbeat, and, honestly, a little unsettling in the best way. Amurri pulled off this nearly wordless dance between strangers in a bus station, and somehow made pigeons weirdly profound. Kinda wild, but it works. Then there’s “La città proibita” (2025). Not out yet, but the buzz is already insane. People are calling it a blend of neo-noir and surrealist dreamscape, and, knowing Amurri, it’ll probably punch you in the gut and then buy you a drink after. The plot’s still under wraps, but the teasers are dripping with that shadowy, neon-lit energy. Think old-school Italian mystery, but someone gave it a shot of espresso and a TikTok filter. Oh, and don’t forget “More Than Just Memories” (2021). That one’s got a totally different vibe—more introspective, a little melancholic, pokes at nostalgia without getting too sappy. It’s like Amurri’s flexing his range, showing he can do more than just artsy oddball stuff. The guy’s all over the map, in a good way. If you’re not watching what he’s up to, you’re probably missing out on one of the most interesting new voices in indie cinema.
