The exhibition space is structured in an optical funnel, composed of tables resembling drafting desks, each dedicated to an author. The visitor is guided through a sequence of drawings showing the different roles and functions that storyboards can assume: setting the sense of space or the mood but also outlining the protagonist’s history and emotional sphere.
From February to September 2025, the Cinema Godard at Fondazione Prada presents a selection of films connected to the exhibition, including The Virgin Suicides (1999) by Sofia Coppola, Little Buddha (1993) by Bernardo Bertolucci, The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) by Wes Anderson, Raging Bull (1980) by Martin Scorsese, The Boy and the Heron (2023) by Hayao Miyazaki, The Image Book (Le livre d’image, 2018) by Jean-Luc Godard, The Great Dictator (1940) by Charlie Chaplin, and Amarcord (1973) by Federico Fellini. All the screenings can be found here.
