This fall, Nexo Studios ’ “Great Art at the Movies” project will return to Italian theaters with two new special events: The Great Fear of Hitler - Trial of Degenerate Art, scheduled for November 3, 4 and 5, 2025, while Caravaggio in Rome. The Jubilee Journey will be available exclusively on December 1, 2 and 3, 2025.
The Great Fear of Hitler - Trial of Degenerate Art is a documentary directed by Simona Risi, on a subject by Didi Gnocchi, who also signs the screenplay together with Sabina Fedeli and Arianna Marelli. The narrator is Iaia Forte. Produced by 3D Productions, the film investigates the Nazi regime’s ideological repression of degenerate art. Artists such as Picasso, Chagall, Van Gogh and Matisse were labeled “degenerates,” their works were removed from German museums, destroyed or sold, while literature, music and architecture not in line with the regime were also banned. Taking as its starting point the exhibition held at the Musée Picasso in Paris, the documentary reconstructs that period through archival images, censored works, and testimony from experts, including art historians, curators, sociologists, and psychoanalysts.
Caravaggio in Rome. The Jubilee Journey, directed by Giovanni Piscaglia on a subject by Didi Gnocchi and scripted by Eleonora Angius, is a production signed by 3D Productions and Nexo Studios. The film offers for the first time in cinema an in-depth reflection on the spiritual dimension of Caravaggio’s work, set in the context of Jubilee Rome. The documentary compares the seventeenth-century Eternal City with the contemporary one, tracing the tormented life of a brilliant artist in parallel with the millennial event that attracts millions of pilgrims. On the occasion of the Caravaggio 2025 exhibition at Palazzo Barberini, the film takes viewers through the dichotomy between light and shadow, damnation and redemption, that marked the master’s entire output.
For 2025, the season of La Grande Arte al Cinema is distributed exclusively in Italy, with the support of media partners Radio Capital, Sky Arte and MYmovies, and in collaboration with Abbonamento Musei.
