Vinylholic - Because Vinyl Loves Music
In 2020, for the first time in 34 years, vinyl sales overran Cd's and "Vinilici - Perché I l vinile ama la musica" inquires into this renewed interest. Vinyls do not appear to be just a thing for collectors anymore, but they are bought by a new and much wider array of enthusiasts of various age. Is it a nostalgic turn to the past, or an opportunity for the future? Through testimonies of musicians, collectors and fans, "Vinilici - Perché I l vinile ama la musica" is the story of an icon with a timeless charm, the record: from recording to printing it, from distributing to purchasing it, from listening to preserving it. The documentary begins in Naples, the primary capital of music and records in Italy. And not by chance: Phonotype Record, founded in Naples at the turn of the XX century, was among the first record companies in the world to have an autonomous factory for printing records. Many are the testimonies brought on by the movie: Renzo Arbore, Claudio Coccoluto, Elio e le Storie Tese, Renato Marengo, Mogol, Giulio Cesare Ricci, Red Ronnie, Gianni Sibilla, Claudio Trotta, Lino Vairetti, Bruno Venturini, Carlo Verdone and many others. The common thread is the love for the vinyl, which in the truest sense of the word highlights how music is an essential part of everyone's life, although always in personal ways. The title choice comes indeed from a particular way of looking at the record, as a positive "addiction" or a "good drug" as is, as a matter of fact, music in its entirety. Vinilici. Perché I l vinile ama la musica by Fulvio Iannucci isn't a technical documentary for a few insiders, but a tale of personal experiences that come together as a bigger story: the story of the vinyl itself.
